Abstract
Imprinted loci are those where the level of expression of an allele depends upon the allele's parent of origin. Imprinting is a widespread phenomenon and parent-of-origin effects have been reported for many qualitative and quantitative traits, in particular carcass traits. The effect of parent-of-origin effects on three quantitative traits - eye muscle area and fat depth at the P8 and 12/13th rib sites - measured on Angus and Hereford heifers and bull calves was examined. Parent-of-origin effects accounted for 12-45% of the total genetic variation for these traits.
