Description of phenotypic data from heifers, cows and steers.

1ADG = Average daily gain (kg/d); ADFI = Average daily feed intake (kg/d); Adipose NCAPG = fold change expression values for NCAPG from adipose tissue; Adipose LCORL = fold change expression values for LCORL from adipose tissue; Muscle NCAPG = fold change expression values for NCAPG from muscle tissue; Muscle LCORL = fold change expression values for LCORL from muscle tissue.2NCAPG and LCORL gene expression evaluated in 2006- and 2007-born heifers (n = 94).32005- and 2006-born cows tested for gene expression from adipose tissue (n = 81).42005-born cows muscle tissue samples tested for gene expression (n = 86).5Expression values based on 30 animals, 2 animals had negligible expression of NCAPG in adipose.6Expression values based on 31 animals, 1 animal had negligible expression of LCORL in adipose.
