A novel A-to-G mutation in circBDP1 alters adipocyte proliferation and differentiation and affects bovine carcass traits.

Abstract excerpt

Fat deposition in cattle, influenced by factors such as genetics, age, sex, and nutrition, plays a crucial role in determining growth rates, beef yield, and meat quality. Among these, genetics is the predominant factor (Kim et al., 2020; Xing et al., 2025). Research indicates a high heritability for visceral (36%) and subcutaneous (57%) fat (Fox et al., 2012). Gene mutations that affect adipocyte function are...
