Association of DGAT1 with cattle, buffalo, goat, and sheep milk and meat production traits
Milk fatty acids are essential for many dairy product productions, while intramuscular fat
(IMF) is associated with the quality of meat. The triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major …

Scans for signatures of selection in Russian cattle breed genomes reveal new candidate genes for environmental adaptation and acclimation
Domestication and selective breeding has resulted in over 1000 extant cattle breeds. Many
of these breeds do not excel in important traits but are adapted to local environments. These …
