Abstract Characterization of genetic regulatory variants acting on livestock gene expression
is essential for interpreting the molecular mechanisms underlying traits of economic value …

Mastitis, the most frequent disease in dairy cattle. Resistance to mastitis is a complex,
polygenic trait controlled by several genes, each with small effects. Genome-wide …

By uniformly analyzing 723 RNA-seq data from 91 tissues and cell types, we built a
comprehensive gene atlas and studied tissue specificity of genes in cattle. We demonstrated …

Simple Summary This study synthesizes reports on body conformation traits in dairy cows,
emphasizing their importance in dairy farming. It elucidates the potential role of these traits …

Expression and splicing quantitative trait loci (e/sQTL) are large contributors to phenotypic
variability. Achieving sufficient statistical power for e/sQTL mapping requires large cohorts …

Background Cross-species comparison of transcriptomes is important for elucidating
evolutionary molecular mechanisms underpinning phenotypic variation between and within …

Simple Summary Udder conformation traits are economically important for dairy animals in
the dairy industry. Milk production loss can be reduced via a better udder structure in dairy …

Clinical mastitis (CM) is an inflammatory disease occurring in the mammary glands of
lactating cows. CM is under genetic control, and a prominent CM resistance QTL located on …

Background Fatty acids composition in poultry muscle is directly related to its tenderness,
flavour, and juiciness, whereas its genetic mechanisms have not been elucidated. In this …

Background Insights into the genetic basis of complex traits and disease in both human and
livestock species have been achieved over the past decade through detection of genetic …
