Functional Annotation of the Bovine Genome

The goal of the proposed project is to generate high-quality detailed transcript and chromatin status datasets from a comprehensive set of bovine tissues, developmental stages, and cells through a set of rationally selected assays. Experimental data generated by the project have been analyzed using well-established bioinformatics software and pipelines to discover and annotate the functional elements of the bovine genome, including enhancers, promoters, insulators, and small and large RNA transcripts, among others. Datasets and findings will be made publicly available though database and genome information centers.
