(#2001-52100-11211) and involves the collaboration of a number of institutions and researchers

Part of the goal of this page is to explain What is Functional Genomics and how it is being used today by scientists.

The following three articles provide lay readers several uses of functional genomics and the important work that scientists are able to do using this new science.

From Genes to Dairy Farms provides some packground on how functional genomics is done and discusses how researchers are using functional genomics to do research in dairy cattle on the immune system at calving, mammary gland development, regulation of feed intake, reproduction, and Johne's disease.

Functional Genomics and the Immune System takes a closer look at work on the immune system in dairy cattle, and Functional Genomics and Dairy Cattle Nutrition outlines efforts to research a family of unique fatty acids in milk, named conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), which are known to have beneficial health effects. Functional genomics and heat stress discusses what researchers are learning about the impact of heat stress on mammary cells that produce milk and follicle and corpus luteum cells that influence pregnancy in dairy cattle.

Members of National Bovine Functional Genomics Consortium include scientists at:

Michigan State University
Cornell University
University of Arizona
University of Idaho
University of California at Davis
University of Missouri
USDA-MARC
USDA-BARC
