Identifying novel genes for carcass traits by testing G × E interaction through genome-wide meta-analysis in Chinese Simmental beef cattle

Livestock Science, 2018
Abstract Over the past decade, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have successfully identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with economically important production traits in beef cattle. Environmental factors, such as farm, year, and season, have been included in GWASs to represent systematic effects that can mask environmentally ...

Polymorphisms of the ASIP gene and the haplotype are associated with fat deposition traits and fatty acid composition in Chinese Simmental steers [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2019
Unlike specific expression in the skin of wild mice, the agouti signaling protein (ASIP) is expressed widely in the tissue of cattle, including adipose and muscle tissue. Hence, it has been suggested that ASIP plays a role in bovine fat metabolism.

Functional studies on methylation of the promoter region of the NR2E1 gene regulating adipocytes in beef cattle [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Methylation plays a pivotal role in the modulation of gene expression, with the occurrence of promoter and exon 1 methylation typically resulting in transcriptional repression.

Fast genomic prediction of breeding values using parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo with convergence diagnosis [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Running multiple-chain Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides an efficient parallel computing method for complex Bayesian models, although the efficiency of the approach critically depends on the length of the non-parallelizable burn-in ...

Deciphering the Evolution Pattern of Structural Variations Overlapped With Repetitive Sequence During Cattle Evolution. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
The authors complement bovine pan‐SV with massive novel structural variations (SVs) identified through long‐read sequencing of 83 globally distributed cattle breeds. Repetitive sequence‐mediated SVs (rep‐SV) exhibit distinct dynamic patterns throughout cattle sub‐speciation and/or domestication processes, including uneven distribution between chr‐X and

Accumulation of Clenbuterol Residues in the Hair of Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle During and After Treatment [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of clenbuterol residues in the red hair of Chinese Simmental beef cattle following exposure to two doses of clenbuterol for 21 days. This experiment was conducted in six male red pied Chinese Simmental beef cattle which were randomly divided into two groups (n = 3).

Identification of Candidate Variants Associated With Bone Weight Using Whole Genome Sequence in Beef Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Bone weight is critical to affect body conformation and stature in cattle. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study for bone weight in Chinese Simmental beef cattle based on the imputed sequence variants.

The Potential of Various Living Tissues for Monitoring Clenbuterol Abuse in Food-Producing Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2015
We aimed to evaluate whether living tissues such as urine, plasma and hair were suitable for monitoring clenbuterol (CL) abuse after its subchronic administration of a growth-promoting dose to the Chinese Simmental beef cattle. Eight male, white and red pied Chinese Simmental beef cattle were involved in the experiment, and the CL dose was 16 µg/kg BW ...
