What is CattleCell-GTEx ?
Here, by integrating 8,866 bulk RNA-seq samples and 999,192 single cells of 72 cell types in 22 bovine tissues, we presented a comprehensive atlas of regulatory variants at the cell type resolution in cattle. This resource included 18,557 beGenes, 168 fQTL, 16,538 cseGenes, 16,341 cell-type ieGenes, and 15,012 cell-state ieGenes. It offers an in-depth understanding of the genetic regulatory effects on the bovine transcriptome at the cellular level and their impacts on complex traits and population selection in cattle. The CattleCell_GTEx will serve as an invaluable resource for cattle genomics, genetics, selective breeding, and domestication.
