  •  QTL Experiment in Brief
    Animals:Slaughter cattle (162 steers and 132 heifers) were produced from mating one Brahman/Hereford sire to Hereford, Angus, and crossbred cows (Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Pinzgauer, Galloway, Longhorn, Nelore, Piedmontese, or Salers.)
     Breeds associated:
    n/a
    Design:Six cores (1.27 cm diameter) were removed per steak for measurement of Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS). Each core was sheared once using a universal testing machine equipped with a Warner-Bratzler attachment.
    Analysis:Quantitative trait loci were identified by a peak in the F-statistic profile obtained from regression of WBS2 and WBS14 on the probability of receiving the Brahman allele (Knott et al., 1996) computed at 1-cM intervals across autosomes.
