Selection in action: dissecting the molecular underpinnings of the increasing muscle mass of Belgian Blue Cattle
BACKGROUND: Belgian Blue cattle are famous for their exceptional muscular development or “double-muscling”. This defining feature emerged following the fixation of a loss-of-function variant in the myostatin gene in the eighties. Since then, sustained selection has further increased muscle mass of B...
