Area of Science:

Animal Genetics
Genomics
Transcriptomics

Background:

Farm animals exhibit diverse genotypes and phenotypes due to evolutionary forces like mutation, drift, selection, and migration.
Understanding the genetic basis of these variations is crucial for animal breeding and welfare.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) Project.
To elucidate the genetic determinants of gene expression across 16 domestic species.
To investigate context-specific regulatory effects on complex phenotypes.

Main Methods:

Collecting multiomics data, including genomics and transcriptomics.
Analyzing data from 50 tissues of 1,000 healthy adult animals per species.
Including an additional 200 animals per species representing specific contexts.

Main Results:

The project will generate a comprehensive dataset linking genotypes to gene expression patterns.
It will identify genetic variations influencing gene regulation in various tissues and conditions.
The FarmGTEx project will establish a foundation for understanding molecular mechanisms of phenotypic diversity.

Conclusions:

FarmGTEx will provide crucial insights into the genetic architecture of farmed animal traits.
The project will advance sustainable agriculture, comparative biology, and potentially human biomedicine.
Coordinated data analysis and resource sharing are essential for maximizing the project's impact.
