Declarations

:

: The animals described herein are not to be considered as experimental animals as defined in EU directive 2010/63 and in the Regulation of Animal Experiments in Norway. Consequently, we did not seek ethical review or approval of this study regarding the use of experimental animals. Tissue samples used for mRNA isolation were collected from ordinary production animals in a Norwegian abattoir after the animals were dead (sample set 1). Tissue samples used for DNA isolation in the two half-sib groups were collected as part of the routine ear-tagging used on commercial farms in Norway (sample set 2). The consent obtained from the farm owners to sample their animals was initially verbal and thereafter confirmed in e-mails about when and how to sample the animals.
