Project description:Affymetrix Human GeneChips are used to profile gene expression of bovine tissues and embryos to identify uniquely expressed genes in bovine in-vitro fertilized embryos by comparing with seven bovine adult tissues through gene clustering
Project description:The liver of dairy cows naturally displays a series of metabolic adaptation during the periparturient period in response to the increasing nutrient requirement of lactation. The hepatic adaptation is partly regulated by insulin resistance and it is affected by the prepartal energy intake level of cows. We aimed to investigate the metabolic changes in the liver of dairy cows during the periparturient at gene expression level and to study the effect of prepartal energy level on the metabolic adaptation at gene expression level.B13:N13
