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