DNA methylation patterns in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Holstein cattle with variable milk yield
Abstract Background Milk yield for Holstein cows has doubled over five decades due to genetic selection and changes to management, but the molecular mechanisms that facilitated this increase are mostly unknown. Epigenetic modifications to the cattle genome are a plausible molecular mechanism to caus...
