Project description
Applying genomics in cattle production
It is well established that epigenetic modifications are implicated in the regulation of gene expression. However, the associations between these modifications and complex phenotypes are poorly understood. The EU-funded BovReg project is interested to understand how epigenetic variation in cattle translates into commercially important phenotypes. The project brings together researchers from different parts of the world to generate functional genomics data related to robustness, health and biological efficiency in cattle. Prediction tools will provide the opportunity to select cattle populations, maintain animal welfare and support precision breeding for efficient cattle production.
