The data consists of 3669 animals genotyped, while pedigree data contained 10429 animals. Five PrP allels were present with the following frequency: ARR 0.174, AHQ 0.074, ARH 0.083, ARQ 0.632, and VRQ 0.037. Iterative peeling algorithem with incomplete penetrance model as implemented in GenoProb was used. There were only some additional identifications of PrP genotype. Nevertheless, the statistics purposed can be used for selection.

Phenotype differences in fatty acid composition were reported for meat and adipose tissue from local breed and commercial fatteners in Slovenia. There were more monosaturated fatty acids and less saturated as well as polysaturated fatty acids in local breed. This determines its better technological as well as nutritional quality of meat from local breed.

In population of Slovenian Simmental bulls from the national progeny test programme of Slovenian Simmental bulls (169 half-sib brothers and 31 sires), we genotyped 12 the most informative SNP markers. Statistical analysis confirmed the hypothesis that FTO gene affects fat deposition - SNP rs41636320 A>T located in intron 6 showed statistically significant association with body fat percentage (P = 0, 0127).

Random regression as previously developed for growth in bulls progeny tested was applied in pigs. Growth curve in Goettingen minipigs does not have a typical sigmoidal shape. Growth rate is slow and more or less uniform. Random regression did not model growth much better than simpler models. Similar results can be expected by other populations, expressing slow growth.

Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), B1 (TFB1M) and B2 (TFB2M) and mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) form so-called mitochondrial DNA transcription machinery. We studied effect of this machinery on body fat deposition and fatty acid metabolism. Three mutations in TFAM, TFB1M and POLRMT were significantly associated with body fat deposition and fatty acids composition in beef cattle. Our results suggest that the basal mitochondrial transcription complex plays an important role in lipid metabolism and may be considered as candidate genes for obesity research in humans.
