Quantitative trait loci mapping and candidate gene analysis for growth and carcass traits on two bovine chromosomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The first objective of this study was to identify genomic regions on BTA4 and BTA14 which harbor QTL affecting weight and carcass traits in a commercial Angus population. The mapping population consisted of 1,510 purebred ...
