Transcriptome Profiling of the Whole Blood of Dairy Cattle Differing in Milk Protein Yield. Transcriptome Profiling of the Whole Blood of Dairy Cattle Differing in Milk Protein Yield

We functionally analyzed the blood transcriptomes from low- and high- milk protein yield to identify differences that might contribute to variation in milk production and quality. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed on the whole blood of 8 low RFI and 8 high RFI animals to obtain transcriptomes for functional analysis using bioinformatics.
