Targeted re-sequencing of the bovine collagenous lectins and peptidoglycan recognition proteins

This study targeted the bovine collagenous lectins, ficolins, MASP genes, and peptidoglycan recognition proteins of cattle. Hepatic DNA was sourced from 120 cattle presenting for postmortem examination at the University of Guelph. The animals were divided into pools of 5 animals each based on the similarity of postmortem diagnosis and all pools were sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq. Variants were called using GATK and allele frequency analysis performed using Popoolation2.
