Identification and characterization of whole blood gene expression and splicing quantitative trait loci during early to mid-lactation of dairy cattle.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Characterization of regulatory variants (e.g., gene expression quantitative trait loci, eQTL; gene splicing QTL, sQTL) is crucial for biologically interpreting molecular mechanisms underlying loci associated with complex traits. However, regulatory variants in dairy cattle, particularly in specific biological contexts (e.g., distinct lactation stages), remain largely unknown. In this study, we...
