The document summarizes research detecting DNA regions associated with milk protein composition in dairy cattle. The study identified regions on chromosomes 6 and 11 that influence casein and beta-lactoglobulin levels. The chromosome 6 region affected all four casein fractions and explained some genetic variants in casein genes. The chromosome 11 region influenced beta-lactoglobulin levels and explained variants of the beta-lactoglobulin gene. Identifying these DNA regions provides opportunities to use genetic selection to improve milk quality and composition for cheese and other dairy products.
