Project description:We functionally analyzed the rumen epithelial transcriptomes from low- and high- feed efficient beef steers to identify differences that might contribute to variation in feed efficiency.
Project description:RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed on rumen papillae from 16 steers with variation in gain and feed intake. Sixteen rumen papillae samples were sequenced by Cofactor Genomics (St.Louis, MO).
Project description:Steer small intestine transcriptome Evaluation of the naturally occurring transcriptome variation among beef steers with divergent gain and feed intake phenotypes.
Project description:Steer liver transcriptome Evaluation of the naturally occurring transcriptome variation in liver among beef steers with divergent gain and feed intake phenotypes.
Project description:Steer spleen transcriptome Evaluation of the naturally occurring transcriptome variation in the spleen among beef steers with divergent gain and feed intake phenotypes.
Project description:Steer mesenteric fat transcriptome. Evaluation of the naturally occurring transcriptome variation in mesenteric fat among beef steers with divergent gain and feed intake phenotypes.
