Genomic variants from RNA-seq for goats resistant or susceptible to gastrointestinal nematode infection

In this study, we used RNA-seq to monitor the dynamic of the response of the abomasal mucosa of Creole goat kids infected with Haemonchus contortus by comparing resistant and susceptible genotypes. A total of 8 cannulated kids, 4 susceptible and 4 resistant to GIN, were infected twice with 10,000 L3 Haemonchus contortus. During the second infection, abomasal mucosal biopsies were collected at 0, 8, 15 and 35 days post infection (dpi) from all kids for RNA-seq analysis
