PSXII-18 Autophagy may contribute to variation in residual feed intake in Hereford cattle
Abstract Residual feed intake (RFI) is heritable and variable among cattle. Understanding gene pathways and networks that regulate variation in the trait will aid in the selection of efficient animals. A total of 824 Hereford steers (RFI: -3.65 to 3.13 kg/d) from nine contemporary groups were genoty...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract
Residual feed intake (RFI) is heritable and variable among cattle. Understanding gene pathways and networks that regulate variation in the trait will aid in the selection of efficient animals. A total of 824 Hereford steers (RFI: -3.65 to 3.13 kg/d) from nine contemporary groups were genotyped with either the Illumina BovineHD or BovineSNP50 BeadChip assays. A genome-wide association analysis was used to identify significant SNP (P3.0) and 55 LEG, was identified by the GSEA-SNP. Endopeptidases cleave peptide bonds and may affect RFI through their important enzymatic roles in protein digestion. The autophagy related 7 (ATG7) gene was the most significant (P=1.9x10-10) master regulator associated with RFI. Significant (P |
