Genome-Wide Assessment of Runs of Homozygosity in Chinese Wagyu Beef Cattle
Animals, 2020 Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous homozygous regions that generally exist in the DNA sequence of diploid organisms. Identifications of ROH leading to reduction in performance can provide valuable insight into the genetic architecture of complex ...

Reduced satellite cell density and myogenesis in Wagyu compared with Angus cattle as a possible explanation of its high marbling [PDF]
Animal, 2018 Mechanisms responsible for excellent marbling in Japanese black cattle, Wagyu, remain to be established. Because both muscle cells and intramuscular adipocytes are developed from mesenchymal progenitor cells during early muscle development, we ...

Immortalization of Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells From Japanese Black Cattle. [PDF]
Cell Biol IntABSTRACT Adipose tissue plays a critical role in determining the characteristic palatability of Japanese Black cattle beef, including its distinctive aroma, tenderness, and flavor. These quality traits are closely associated with adipogenic differentiation and lipid metabolism; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood ...
