Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle: A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution

Christine G. Elsik, +328 more
- 24 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage and provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune components of bovine colostrum and milk

TL;DR: An overview is presented of the immune factors in colostrum and milk as well as the results of research aimed at realizing this untapped value in milk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloned transgenic cattle produce milk with higher levels of β-casein and κ-casein

TL;DR: The results show that it is feasible to substantially alter a major component of milk in high producing dairy cows by a transgenic approach and thus to improve the functional properties of dairy milk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of host defence proteins in milk using a proteomic approach.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the proteome of milk is more complex than has previously been reported and a significant fraction of minor milk proteins are involved in protection against infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune components of colostrum and milk--a historical perspective.

TL;DR: Key developments in the understanding of the immune functions of milk and colostrum are reviewed, focusing on their proteinaceous components, and the contributions that mammary biology research has made to the development of other fields are highlighted.
