library_construction_protocol: Peripheral blood was collected from herds containing naturally M. bovis-infected and from non-infected herds. Genomic DNA was subsequently extracted from frozen whole blood representing 16 Friesian cows using QIAamp Blood Mini Kit (Cat. No. 51104, Qiagen). The EZ DNA Methylation Gold Kit (Cat No. D5005) Zymo Research was used to perform the bisulfite treatment of the unmethylated cytosines present in extracted DNA samples.
