Heat stress and immune response phenotype affect DNA methylation in blood mononuclear cells from Holstein dairy cows

Abstract Heat stress negatively affects health and production in cows. Examining the cellular response to heat stress could reveal underlying protective molecular mechanisms associated with superior resilience and ultimately enable selection for more resilient cattle. This type of investigation is i...
