This document summarizes research on identifying genetic variants associated with thermotolerance in beef cattle. Thermotolerance refers to an animal's ability to regulate body temperature under heat stress. The researcher collected phenotypes like hair length, skin thickness, and sweat gland characteristics from cattle and performed genome-wide association studies to identify variants. For hair length, variants were found in genes involved in transcription (SALL1) and metabolism (PCCA, GSTA5). For skin thickness, a variant was identified in GRIP1, which is involved in skin abnormalities. Sweat gland number associated with variants in GJC3 and SIK2, which influence skin homeostasis and adipocytes. The identified variants may contribute to traits that improve an
