Myostatin is a highly conserved Transforming Growth Factor beta family member which negatively regulates muscle development. Double-muscled (DM) cattle have a loss-of-function mutation in their myostatin gene responsible for a hypermuscular phenotype mainly due to hyperplasia. Thus these animals rep...

The transcriptome of bovine Longissimus thoracis muscles from 15- and 19-month-old Charolais young bulls were analyzed in order to identify genes whose expression level was associated to beef quality scores, in particular to tenderness, juiciness and flavor, and to muscle growth potential. The expre...

Background : The Blonde Aquitaine (BA) is a French beef breed with enhanced muscularity of unknown genetic origin. Targeted sequencing has shown that the BA is not a carrier of any of the bovine MSTN mutations. At the protein level the BA shows a transition to a faster muscle isoform phenotype with ...
