This study maps cis and trans meQTLs in cattle blood DNA methylation using EpiChip data, identifying regulatory genes and hotspots associated with methylation patterns.

The paper constructs a cattle pangenome to identify novel non-reference unique insertions (NRUIs) and links them to economically important traits.

This paper investigates a new genetic disorder in Holstein cattle caused by an ITGB7 mutation, showing reduced lifespan, poor growth, and immune-related symptoms in homozygous carriers.

The paper detects recessive genetic defects in cattle using genomic data and life history analysis, identifying 33 new loci linked to juvenile mortality.
