  The GeneChip Bovine Genome Array can be used to study gene expression of over 23,000 bovine transcripts. The array is an ideal tool for researchers studying gene expression profiles in cattle. With the broadest representation of publicly available expressed sequence information, bovine researchers will be able to use this array to monitor genetic mechanisms regulating a variety of preferred traits, such as:
  
  - Disease resistance
  - Meat and dairy production
  - Stress tolerance
  
  The Bovine Genome Array was designed in close collaboration with the Bovine Research Community as part of the Affymetrix GeneChip Consortia Program.
