Influence of SNP mutations in FTO and LEP genes on body mass in bovine populations

Body mass gain in a certain time period is one of the most important parameters in beef production. Some candidate genes, which have major impact on growth traits, are known from the literature, notably among them the FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated) and LEP (leptin) locus. In our experiment, w...
