Characterization of two Pro-opiomelanocortin gene variants and their effects on carcass traits in beef cattle
BACKGROUND: Carcass quantity (lean meat yield) and quality (degree of marbling) in beef cattle determines much of their economic value. Consequently, it is important to study genes that are part of the appetite pathway and that may ultimately affect carcass composition. Pro-opiomelanocortin is a pro...
