Description
Jinfeng He and colleagues published a 2026 data study profiling gene activity across the whole body of dairy cattle. Milk output depends on programs running in many tissues, yet past work looked mainly at the udder and liver. The team built a body-wide map that also covers gene splicing and other fine steps of gene use.
They sequenced RNA from 99 tissues of two Holstein cows and merged the data with 400 public samples from 182 cows, reaching 166 tissues in all. Busy tissues like brain, udder, and reproductive organs held the most tissue-only genes. Two splicing patterns dominated across tissues. Comparing 11,547 shared genes across cattle, humans, and pigs, matching organs grouped together across species. The authors offer the map as a resource for milk trait research.
