Project description:The liver of dairy cows naturally displays a series of metabolic adaptation during the periparturient period in response to the increasing nutrient requirement of lactation. The hepatic adaptation is partly regulated by insulin resistance and it is affected by the prepartal energy intake level of cows. We aimed to investigate the metabolic changes in the liver of dairy cows during the periparturient at gene expression level and to study the effect of prepartal energy level on the metabolic adaptation at gene expression level.B13:N13
Project description:By comparison of the transcriptome profiles of infected and healthy udder tissue we analyse gene expression in the early stage of infection with E. coli 1303. Differentially expressed genes and transcription factors regulating coexpressed genes identified by SOTA clustering were used to identify key genes that define early stage of infection with E. coli 1303. Experiment Overall Design: 10 samples, two conditions: E. coli treated for 6h vs healthy control * five replicates
