Functional Annotation of Genes Expressed in the Developing Equine Placenta

The full equine genome sequence, now freely available to researchers worldwide, has dramatically advanced equine research in many areas. However, although the protein coding genes of the horse are now quite well defined, the non-coding elements that control gene transcription and other aspects of gene expression remain largely uncharacterized and are poorly understood. Such information is crucial to exploiting the full potential of genomics to advance equine research, including applications in reproduction.
