In utero heat stress alters the offspring epigenome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Exposure to intrauterine heat stress during late gestation affects offspring performance into adulthood. However, underlying mechanistic links between thermal insult in fetal life and postnatal outcomes are not completely understood. Utilizing RNA Sequencing, this study characterized the mammary gland transcriptome of heifers that were gestated under maternal conditions of heat stress or cooling, i.e., in utero heat stressed (HT) vs. in utero cooled (CL). Mammary tissues were collected from three HT and three CL heifers during their first lactation.
