The developmental liver transcriptome of Rattus norvegicus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Our research is involved in the transcriptional dynamics of perinatal liver development. The transcription factors and their downstream effects have been well studied in regards to early liver development, yet perinatal ... -
Phenotypic and genetic effects of disposition on beef tenderness and quality attributes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Cattle temperament (exit velocity; EV) and steak tenderness (Warner-Bratzler shear force) have been shown to be associated in Bos indicus cattle (Behrends et al., 2009). Both traits potentially provide opportunities for ... -
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 ... -
Structural variation at the KIT locus is responsible for the piebald phenotype in Hereford and Simmental cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)The Spotted locus is responsible for white spotting (piebald) coat color phenotypes in cattle. Since the Hereford breed is fixed for this phenotype, we postulate that a selective sweep occurred during breed formation to ...
