The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomic and
transcriptomic approaches to biology. These new sequencing tools are also valuable for the …

This is a time of unprecedented transition in DNA sequencing technologies. Next-generation
sequencing (NGS) clearly holds promise for fast and cost-effective generation of multilocus …

Motivation: RNA sequencing is now widely performed to study differential expression among
experimental conditions. As tests are performed on a large number of genes, stringent false …

Puberty is a complex physiological event by which animals mature into an adult capable of
sexual reproduction. In order to enhance our understanding of the genes and regulatory …

The objective of this study was to examine five different sources of RNA, namely mammary
gland tissue (MGT), milk somatic cells (SC), laser microdissected mammary epithelial cells …

Fast growth is an important and highly desired trait, which affects the profitability of food
animal production, with feed costs accounting for the largest proportion of production costs …

Quality control (QC) is a critical step in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Yet, it is often ignored or
conducted on a limited basis. Here, we present a multi-perspective strategy for QC of RNA …

Background New advances in high-throughput technologies have allowed for the massive
analysis of genomic data, providing new opportunities for the characterization of the …

Domestication has led to similar changes in morphology and behavior in several animal
species, raising the question whether similarities between different domestication events …

Abstract Background Recently, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has rapidly emerged as a major
transcriptome profiling system. Elucidation of the bovine mammary gland transcriptome by …
