Meta-analysis of six dairy cattle breeds reveals biologically relevant candidate genes for mastitis resistance

Abstract Background Mastitis is a disease that incurs significant costs in the dairy industry.A promising approach to mitigate its negative effects is to genetically improve the resistance of dairy cattle to mastitis.A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) across multiple breeds for clinical mastitis (CM) and its indicator trait,

SVD identifies transcript length distribution functions from DNA microarray data and reveals evolutionary forces globally affecting GBM metabolism.

To search for evolutionary forces that might act upon transcript length, we use the singular value decomposition (SVD) to identify the length distribution functions of sets and subsets of human and yeast transcripts Shorts from profiles of mRNA abundance levels across gel electrophoresis migration distances that were previously measured by DNA micr
