Project description:we compared the skin transcriptomes of the black- and white-coated region from the Boer and Macheng Black crossbred goat with black head and white body using the Illumina RNA-Seq method. Six cDNA libraries derived from skin samples of the white coat region (n = 3) and black coat region (n = 3) were constructed from three full-sib goats. On average, we obtained approximately 76.5 and 73.5 million reads for each skin sample of black coat and white coat, respectively, of which 75.39% and 76.05% reads were covered in the genome database. Our study provides insight into the transcriptional regulation of two distinct coat color that might serve as a key resource for understanding coat color pigmentation of goat.
Project description:While investigation of a single inhaled toxicant may be useful, the additive effects of toxicants interacting within the body can only be modelled through co-exposure. The purpose of this study is to understand how inhalation of carbon black and ozone alters the transcriptome, and if co-exposure incites unique, genome-wide changes in the lungs.
