Association of markers in the bovine CAPN1 gene with meat tenderness in large crossbred populations that sample influential industry sires.

TL;DR: Two previously identified single-nucleotide polymorphism markers located within the micromolar calcium-activated neutral protease gene (CAPN1) were evaluated for their association with variation in meat tenderness using one commercial sample of Simmental x Angus crossbred calves and one multibreed, crossbred research herd, supporting the hypothesis that they represent potential markers to aid selection for improvedMeat tenderness in commercial populations of beef cattle in the United States.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in Brahman steers and their association with carcass and tenderness traits.
TL;DR: Data from purebred Brahman steers were used to study the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with carcass traits and measures of tenderness and genotypes of thyroglobulin, calpastatin and mu-calpain were determined.
Assessing the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms at the thyroglobulin gene with carcass traits in beef cattle.

TL;DR: Data indicate that markers at the thyroglobulin gene may be a useful predictor of marbling performance for producers raising Wagyu-based cattle and the TT genotype had the numerically greatest marbling score in each population.
Present and future applications of DNA technologies to improve beef production.
M.F. Allan,T. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The history of genome research in cattle and recent technological advances that promise a leap forward in the use of DNA sequence to facilitate selection are discussed, in which a detailed genome-level view for individual animals may provide comprehensive and relatively accurate assessment of the consequences of genetic selection for livestock production.

Evaluation of biochemical parameters and genetic markers for association with meat tenderness in South African feedlot cattle.
L. Frylinck,G.L. van Wyk,T. Smith,P.E. Strydom,E. van Marle-Köster,E.C. Webb,Mohammad Koohmaraie,M.F. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: The sample size was too small to accurately estimate genotypic effects of previously published markers in the CAST and CAPN1 genes, but the allele frequencies suggest that only modest progress would be possible in these South African crossbreds using these markers.
