Transcriptome changes following castration of Korean cattle bulls in longissimus dorsi muscle. Bos taurus

Transcripome of longissimus dorsi muscle was compared between Korean cattle bulls and steers by using a customized bovine Combimatrix microarray containing 10,199 genes. Overall design: A customized bovine Combimatrix microarray containing 10,199 genes were constructed, and transcripome of longissimus dorsi muscle was compared between Korean cattle bulls (3 bulls) and steers (3 high-marbled and 3 low-marbled steers) by using the microarray hybridzation.
