Bos indicus x Bos taurus Umbrella project

This project is focused on the integration of computation and molecular biology to address biological questions in bovine fetal development. It will create knowledge to understand the functional genomics and gene expression using tissue samples from a unique resource of purebred and reciprocal cross bred individuals of the two cattle sub-species. Various latest sequencing technologies will be used to assemble the two sub-species genomes to facilitate further studies on parental genome effects, sex effect and epigenetic factors in different tissues between pure and hybrid bovine foetus.
