Differential DNA Methylation Associated with Sexual Partner Preferences in Rams

The present study evaluated the genome-wide methylation level of the medial basal hypothalamus using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) in female- and male-oriented rams. RRBS of 5 male oriented rams (MORs) and 4 female oriented rams (FORs.

本研究采用简化代表性亚硫酸氢盐测序（reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, RRBS）技术，对雌倾向性公羊（female-oriented rams, FORs）与雄倾向性公羊（male-oriented rams, MORs）的内侧基底下丘脑（medial basal hypothalamus）的全基因组甲基化水平进行评估；本次研究共对5只雄倾向性公羊（MORs）与4只雌倾向性公羊（FORs）开展了RRBS分析。
