Genome-Wide Association Integrating a Transcriptomic Meta-Analysis Suggests That Genes Related to Fat Deposition and Muscle Development Are Closely Associated with Growth in Huaxi Cattle

Growth traits are among the most important economic phenotypes targeted in the genetic improvement of beef cattle. To understand the genetic basis of growth traits in Huaxi cattle, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on body weight, eye muscle area, and back fat thickness across five...
