Gene co-expression networks associated with carcass traits reveal new pathways for muscle and fat deposition in Nelore cattle

Abstract Background Positively correlated with carcass weight and animal growth, the ribeye area (REA) and the backfat thickness (BFT) are economic important carcass traits, which impact directly on producer’s payment. The selection of these traits has not been satisfactory since they are expressed...
