Gene co-expression networks from RNA sequencing of dairy cattle identifies genes and pathways affecting feed efficiency

Abstract Background Selection for feed efficiency is crucial for overall profitability and sustainability in dairy cattle production. Key regulator genes and genetic markers derived from co-expression networks underlying feed efficiency could be included in the genomic selection of the best cows. Th...
