Genome-wide association and genotype by environment interactions for growth traits in U.S. Red Angus cattle

BMC Genomics, 2022
Genotypic information produced from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays has routinely been used to identify genomic regions associated with complex traits in beef and dairy cattle.

Unraveling the phenotypic and genomic background of behavioral plasticity and temperament in North American Angus cattle

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Longitudinal records of temperament can be used for assessing behavioral plasticity, such as aptness to learn, memorize, or change behavioral responses based on affective state. In this study, we evaluated the phenotypic and genomic background

Across-country genetic and genomic analyses of foot score traits in American and Australian Angus cattle

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Hoof structure and health are essential for the welfare and productivity of beef cattle. Therefore, we assessed the genetic and genomic background of foot score traits in American (US) and Australian (AU) Angus cattle and investigated the ...

I. Comparison of Angus, Charolais—Angus, South Devon—Angus, Hereford—Angus, and Friesian—Angus steers [PDF]

New Zealand Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1976
Abstract A trial was undertaken to compare the carcass composition of purebred Angus and crossbred Charolais-Angus, South Devon-Angus, Hereford-Angus, and Friesian-Angus steers. The preslaughter, hot carcass, boneless meat, and bone weights ranked from heaviest to lightest in the following order: Charolais-Angus, Friesian-Angus, South Devon-Angus ...

Autophagy of the somatic stalk cells likely nurses the propagating spores of Dictyostelid social amoebas [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe, 2022
Background:  Autophagy (self-feeding) assists survival of starving cells by partial self-digestion, while dormancy as cysts, spores or seeds enables long-term survival.

Haplotype-resolved genomes provide insights into structural variation and gene content in Angus and Brahman cattle

Nature Communications, 2020
Inbred animals were historically chosen for genome analysis to circumvent assembly issues caused by haplotype variation but this resulted in a composite of the two genomes.

Development of a genetic evaluation for hair shedding in American Angus cattle to improve thermotolerance

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020
Background Heat stress and fescue toxicosis caused by ingesting tall fescue infected with the endophytic fungus Epichloë coenophiala represent two of the most prevalent stressors to beef cattle in the United States and cost the beef industry millions of ...
