Transcript abundances associated with fertility in a case-control design including Angus and Holstein heifers

ABSTRACT: We carried out an experiment to test the hypothesis that differences in gene transcript abundance due to fertility fitness would be shared between heifers of different breeds. We produced transcriptome data from peripheral white blood cells from 22 heifers (purebred Angus heifers (n=12), purebred Holstein (n=10) heifers). We identified two genes whose transcript abundance differed (eFDR ≤ 0.002) between the two groups (Fertile and Sub-Fertile), namely Adipocyte Plasma Membrane Associated Protein (APMAP, 1.16 greater abundance in the Fertile group) and Dynein Axonemal Intermediate Chain 7 (DNAI7, 1.23 greater abundance in the Sub-Fertile group).
