WP2 objectives
WP2 will establish a map of functionally active regulatory and structural elements in the bovine genome using six new bovine cell lines and a comprehensive catalogue of at least 24 tissues collected from individuals of both sexes, from at least three divergent breeds/crosses kept in different environments. Data from WP2 will be used to identify candidate regulatory variants affecting complex BovReg target traits (WP4), to be confirmed in WP6 and used to establish bd-GP tools (WP7).
