What is it about?
The Egyptian buffalo has a sizable impact on Egypt’s agricultural sector and food supply. It is regarded as the main dairy animal and an important source of red meat. This study aimed to detect polymorphisms and assess the potential impact of the discovered nsSNPs on the stability of the tertiary structure polypeptides in Egyptian buffalo.

Why is it important?
The non-conservative amino acid substitutions result in amino acids with new properties different from the original amino acid that change the protein’s structure and function. We can infer that the DGAT1 and TCAP genes’ SNPs may affect meat-related traits and may improve meat
Perspectives
This additional genetic characterization could be used in selective breeding systems aimed at enhancing the meat quality of this breed.
