Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals genes associated with variation in liver copper concentration in Polish Merino sheep

Abstract Economic gain for sheep farmers is continually affected by incidences of copper intoxication and deficiency. This study assessed the ovine genome for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) influencing within-breed variation in hepatic copper content in Polish Merino sheep. To this end, we co...
