Genome-wide association study for beef fatty acid profile using haplotypes in Nellore cattle

An abstract of the study conducted by Feitosa et al, which aims identify genomic regions associated with the total amount of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids in the beef of Nellore cattle is presented. Feitosa et al, stated that genes such as GALNT12, S...

Description
Summary:An abstract of the study conducted by Feitosa et al, which aims identify genomic regions associated with the total amount of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids in the beef of Nellore cattle is presented. Feitosa et al, stated that genes such as GALNT12, SLC6A7, CAMK2A are involved in lipid metabolism, reproductive hormone receptors, transport and use of fatty acids and cholesterol, phospholipid and membrane hydrolysis and biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and protein kinase synthesis. Thus, the identification of these associated haplotypes may contribute to further studies to validate these regions and prospect candidate genes that would be useful for breeding programs to improve the beef quality of Nellore cattle.
