Open AccessRNA-Seq Meta-analysis identifies genes in skeletal muscle associated with gain and intake across a multi-season study of crossbred beef steers
Feed intake and body weight gain are economically important inputs and outputs of beef production systems. The purpose of this study was to discover differentially expressed genes that will be robust for feed ...

Open AccessQTLs associated with dry matter intake, metabolic mid-test weight, growth and feed efficiency have little overlap across 4 beef cattle studies
The identification of genetic markers associated with complex traits that are expensive to record such as feed intake or feed efficiency would allow these traits to be included in selection programs. To identi...

Beef cattle body temperature during climatic stress: a genome-wide association study
Cattle are reared in diverse environments and collecting phenotypic body temperature (BT) measurements to characterize BT variation across diverse environments is difficult and expensive. To better understand ...

Open AccessComparison of molecular breeding values based on within- and across-breed training in beef cattle
Although the efficacy of genomic predictors based on within-breed training looks promising, it is necessary to develop and evaluate across-breed predictors for the technology to be fully applied in the beef in...

Open AccessAssociation, effects and validation of polymorphisms within the NCAPG - LCORL locus located on BTA6 with feed intake, gain, meat and carcass traits in beef cattle
In a previously reported genome-wide association study based on a high-density bovine SNP genoty** array, 8 SNP were nominally associated (P ≤ 0.003) with average daily gain (ADG) and 3 of these were also assoc...

Open AccessA physical map of the bovine genome
Cattle are important agriculturally and relevant as a model organism. Previously described genetic and radiation hybrid (RH) maps of the bovine genome have been used to identify genomic regions and genes affec...

Open AccessCharacterization of 954 bovine full-CDS cDNA sequences
Genome assemblies rely on the existence of transcript sequence to stitch together contigs, verify assembly of whole genome shotgun reads, and annotate genes. Functional genomics studies also rely on transcript...

Open AccessLinkage map** bovine EST-based SNP
Existing linkage maps of the bovine genome primarily contain anonymous microsatellite markers. These maps have proved valuable for map** quantitative trait loci (QTL) to broad regions of the genome, but more...

Open AccessIntegrating linkage and radiation hybrid map** data for bovine chromosome 15
Bovine chromosome (BTA) 15 contains a quantitative trait loci (QTL) for meat tenderness, as well as several breaks in synteny with human chromosome (HSA) 11. Both linkage and radiation hybrid (RH) maps of BTA ...

Beta-2-microglobulin haplotypes in U.S. beef cattle and association with failure of passive transfer in newborn calves
Failure of passive transfer (FPT) is a condition in which neonates do not acquire protective serum levels of maternal antibodies. A principal component of antibody transport is the neonatal receptor for the Fc...

Prion gene sequence variation within diverse groups of U.S. sheep, beef cattle, and deer
Prions are proteins that play a central role in transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in a variety of mammals. Among the most notable prion disorders in ungulates are scrapie in sheep, bovine spongiform en...
