Abstract excerpt
This study focuses on the initial cellular response to a causal pathogen in the mammary gland of dairy cows aiming to uncover genomic features associated with mastitis resistance. We analyzed transcriptomes from Escherichia coli -challenged primary bovine mammary epithelial cells derived from milk of cows with high or low genomic index value for udder health. The most striking difference was the markedly higher...
