<p>Aspects of the present invention also provide novel compositions and methods based on novel CBFA2T1 and/or DECR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms selected from the group consisting of CBFA2T1 SNP1, CBFA2T1 SNP2, CBFA2T1 SNP3, CBFA2T1 SNP4, DECR1 SNP5, DECR1 SNP6, DECR1 SNP7, DECR1 SNP8, DECR1 SNP9, DECR1 SNP10, DECR1 SNP11, DECR1 SNP12 and DECR1 SNP13, which may provide novel markers for carcass quality, growth and/or feed efficiency. Additional aspects provide for novel methods which may comprise marker-assisted selection or marker-assisted management to improve carcass quality, growth and/or feed efficiency in cattle.</p> |
