Declarations
:
: All animal experiments were conducted in strict accordance with the rules and guidelines outlined in the New Zealand Animal Welfare Act 1999. For the mammary tissue RNA sequencing biopsy experiment (for RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq), samples were obtained in accordance with protocols approved by the Ruakura Animal Ethics Committee, Hamilton, New Zealand (approval AEC 12845). These cows were situated on a research farm and permission was sought and obtained to biopsy mammary tissue from the owner of these animals (AgResearch, NZ). No animals were sacrificed for this study. For data collected during the Friesian-Jersey crossbreeding trial, milk samples were collected by subsampling during industry-standard milk collections. Ethics approval for all sample collection procedures was granted by the Ruakura Animal Ethics Committee. No animals were sacrificed during this study.
