Genome wide association and gene enrichment analysis reveal membrane anchoring and structural proteins associated with meat quality in beef

Abstract Background Meat quality related phenotypes are difficult and expensive to measure and predict but are ideal candidates for genomic selection if genetic markers that account for a worthwhile proportion of the phenotypic variation can be identified. The objectives of this study were: 1) to pe...
