QTL Mapping and Molecular Dissection of Meat Quality Traits in Swine
… quality traits cannot be assessed in the live animal, selection for these traits must rely upon genetic determinants known as quantitative trait loci (QTL). To facilitate fine-mapping of swine QTL, a ∼1 Mb-resolution human-pig comparative map, composed of 2,274 markers in 34 linkage groups, …

Differential gene expression and molecular mechanisms associated with development of pale, soft and exudative (PSE) turkey meat
… approaches such as genetic markers for animal selection or pathway intervention to prevent development of this meat defect have been suggested as a potential long-term solution. However, molecular mechanisms associated with this alteration remain unclear. The overall goal of this study …

Genomic selection for high quality beef production
… thesis focuses on the implementation of genomic selection within Wagyu, a breed of cattle that is highly desired due to its propensity to accumulate marbling. Initial focus of the thesis was to investigate using genomics to breed purebred Wagyu, producing crossbreds with improved marbling …
