Single nucleotide variants in transcription factors associate more tightly with phenotype than with gene expression. by Priya Sudarsanam, Barak A Cohen

“…The balance between the main effects and gene-gene interactions on gene expression variation is not the same as on sporulation efficiency. Finally, we show that nucleotide variants in the same transcription factor explain the expression variation of different sets of target genes depending on whether the variant alters the level or activity of the transcription factor. …”

Effects of milk feeding levels and starter feed crude protein and fat contents on growth performance, rumen fermentation, and purine derivative excretion in urine of dairy calves by M. Yazdanyar, M. Kazemi-Bonchenari, M. Eghbali, A. Sadeghisharif, A. Jafari, M. Molaei, M. Kornasi, H. Khalilvandi-Behroozyar, M.H. Ghaffari

“…In contrast, HM-HCP calves had a greater molar proportion of propionate preweaning and butyrate postweaning, along with a greater proportion of branched-chain VFA in high-CP diets, indicating more efficient microbial activity in the rumen. Urinary analyses were consistent with these results, as HM-HCF calves had the greatest creatinine levels and lowest urine volumes, whereas HM-HCP calves showed the greatest excretion of the microbial protein synthesis markers allantoin and uric acid. …”
