Stranded Total RNA-seq of whole blood cells collected from Holstein Friesian cows

Bovine mastitis is an inflammatory disease of the mammary gland with serious economic implications for dairy industries worldwide. We performed total RNA sequencing using whole blood cells collected from multiparous Holstein Friesian dairy cows with naturally occurring mastitis to investigate the changes in systemic gene expression and their association with inflammatory responses. Some related sequencing data are deposited in E-MTAB-9347 and E-MTAB-9348.
