Article Synopsis
- Research on bovine polledness and horn development is limited, despite significant efforts, with at least two alleles identified at the Polled locus.
- Candidate mutations related to these alleles were found outside known genetic regions, complicating the understanding of polledness.
- New findings include a unique eyelash-and-eyelid phenotype and potential genetic links between horn differentiation and specific genes, marking a critical advancement in the study of horn development in cattle.
Background: Previous research programmes have described muscle biochemical traits and gene expression levels associated with beef tenderness. One of our results concerning the DNAJA1 gene (an Hsp40) was patented. This study aims to confirm the relationships previously identified between two gene families (heat shock proteins and energy metabolism) and beef quality.
