Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism in akirin 2 gene with marbling in Japanese Black beef cattle

BMC Research Notes

Table 3 Effect of the SNP genotypes on marbling and subcutaneous fat thickness in experiment 3

		Breeding value*
Genotype	No. of animals	Marbling score	Subcutaneous fat thickness (mm)
AA	348	3.88^a ± 0.04	1.39 ± 0.25
GA	382	3.74^b ± 0.03	1.16 ± 0.23

*The breeding values are given as least squares means ± SE.
^{a, b}Means at different genotypes without a common letter in their superscripts significantly differ (P < 0.05).
