Effects of the SLICK1 mutation in PRLR on regulation of core body temperature and global gene expression in liver in cattle

Determine the effect of 0,1, or 2 copies of the slick mutation in the PRLR on gene expression Overall design: For one exp, liver was obtained from daughters of slick bulls (Blanco or Lone Ranger) ; daughters inherited 0 (FREE) or 1 (SLICK) copies of the SLICK allele. For the other study, liver was obtained from animals with 1 (S1) or 2 (S2) copies of the SLICK allele
