Genomic Heritability and Genome-Wide Association Studies of Plasma Metabolites in Crossbred Beef Cattle

Metabolites, substrates or products of metabolic processes, are involved in many biological functions, such as energy metabolism, signaling, stimulatory and inhibitory effects on enzymes and immunological defense. Metabolomic phenotypes are influenced by combination of genetic and environmental effe...
