Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in cattle breeding encompass both in vivo and in vitro techniques, each offering unique approaches to enhance reproductive efficiency, genetic advancement, and overall herd productivity.
We have datasets from two large research projects on transcriptome sequencing (RNAseq) of cattle embryos obtained from in vivo and in vitro techniques. This masters project will be about calling Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and Copy Number Variations (CNVs) from embryo gene expression (RNASeq) datasets across different parts of cattle embryos. They are abbreviated as eQTLs and eCNVs, respectively. The work will then move towards relating eQTLs and eCNVs to a list of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that are provided.
