The demand for high-quality milk is increasing worldwide. The efficiency of milk synthesis
can be improved by taking advantage of the accumulated knowledge of the transcriptional …

Characterization and biological roles of the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor
(PPAR) isotypes are well known in monogastrics, but not in ruminants. However, a wealth of …

The dynamic impact approach (DIA) represents an alternative to overrepresentation analysis
(ORA) for functional analysis of time-course experiments or those involving multiple …

The mammary gland is a unique organ with the ability to undergo repeated cyclic changes
throughout the life of mammals. Among domesticated livestock species, ruminants (cattle …

To explore the function of PPARγ in the goat mammary gland, we cloned the whole cDNA of
the PPARγ gene. Homology alignments revealed that the goat PPARγ gene is conserved …

Microarray development changed the way biologists approach the holistic study of cells and
tissues. In dairy cattle biosciences, the application of omics technology, from spotted …

Milk fatty acids are essential for many dairy product productions, while intramuscular fat
(IMF) is associated with the quality of meat. The triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major …

Inadequate dry matter intake only partially accounts for the decrease in milk protein
synthesis during heat stress (HS) in dairy cows. Our hypothesis is that reduced milk protein …

MicroRNA (miRNA) are small single-stranded noncoding RNA with important roles in
regulating innate immunity in nonruminants via transcriptional and posttranscriptional …

Background The knowledge base-driven pathway analysis is becoming the first choice for
many investigators, in that it not only can reduce the complexity of functional analysis by …
