Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The A2 β-casein milk variant has gained interest due to potential health benefits, which has contributed to the rise of A2A2 genotypes within dairy herds. Although the A1 to A2 amino acid substitution in β-casein does not directly regulate gene expression, selective breeding for the A2A2 genotype may have indirect transcriptomic consequences in the mammary gland. RESULTS: In this study, we...
