Transcriptome profiling of Musculus longissimus dorsi in two cattle breeds with different intramuscular fat deposition

Genomics Data, 2016
Intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition is a physiological process in cattle and is highly variable among breeds suggesting a large influence of genetic factors besides environmental factors.

Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism on Spermatogenesis Associated 16 Gene-Coding Region Affecting Bovine Leukemia Virus Proviral Load

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an etiological agent of malignant lymphoma in cattle and is endemic in many cattle-breeding countries. Thus, the development of cattle genetically resistant to BLV is desirable.

Application of Mass Spectrometry for Determining the Geographic Production Area of Wagyu Beef

Metabolites, 2022
Japanese Black cattle (Japanese Wagyu) beef is attracting attention for its aroma and marbling, and its handling is increasing worldwide. Here, we focused on the origin discrimination of Wagyu beef and analyzed the nutritional components of Japanese ...

Exploring the size of reference population for expected accuracy of genomic prediction using simulated and real data in Japanese Black cattle

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Size of reference population is a crucial factor affecting the accuracy of prediction of the genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV). There are few studies in beef cattle that have compared accuracies achieved using real data to that achieved ...

Comparative Genome-Wide Alternative Splicing Analysis of Longissimus Dorsi Muscles Between Japanese Black (Wagyu) and Chinese Red Steppes Cattle

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Alternative splicing is a ubiquitous regulatory mechanism in gene expression that allows a single gene generating multiple messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Significant differences in fat deposition ability and meat quality traits have been reported between ...

Association of Bovine Leukemia Virus-Induced Lymphoma with BoLA-DRB3 Polymorphisms at DNA, Amino Acid, and Binding Pocket Property Levels

Pathogens, 2021
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes enzootic bovine leucosis, a malignant B-cell lymphoma in cattle. The DNA sequence polymorphisms of bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 have exhibited a correlation with BLV-induced lymphoma in Holstein cows.

Mapping of CD4+ T-cell epitopes in bovine leukemia virus from five cattle with differential susceptibilities to bovine leukemia virus disease progression

Virology Journal, 2019
Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), which is closely related to human T-cell leukemia virus, is the etiological agent of enzootic bovine leukosis, a disease characterized by a highly prolonged course involving persistent lymphocytosis and B-cell ...

Impacts of trehalose supplementation on ruminal microbiota and productivity of Japanese Black heifers under heat-stressed conditions [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective Hot environments negatively affect cattle productivity, and global warming also causes heat stress, thereby adversely impacting cattle production. Improving cattle management under such conditions is an urgent issue.

Distribution of allele frequencies at TTN g.231054C > T, RPL27A g.3109537C > T and AKIRIN2 c.*188G > A between Japanese Black and four other cattle breeds with differing historical selection for marbling

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Marbling defined by the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat, so-called Shimofuri, is an economically important trait of beef cattle in Japan.

MOET Efficiency in a Spanish Herd of Japanese Black Heifers and Analysis of Environmental and Metabolic Determinants

Biology, 2022
Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) systems have been intensively implemented in Japanese Black cattle in Japan and to create Japanese Black herds out of these areas. Environmental conditions influence MOET efficiency. Thus, we describe results
