Yak Cardiac Transcriptomic and Proteomic Data Under Nutritional Supplementation

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau data from a study of 12 male Muli yaks subjected to different nutritional regimens over 60 days. The dataset contains integrated RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry results, yielding 140 differentially expressed genes and 254 differentially expressed proteins. It was authored by Yiqun Chen and last updated on 2026-04 14.

Use Cases

• Identify biomarkers for nutritional status based on the coordinated induction of GPX1 and SELENOW.
• Study post-transcriptional regulation in cardiac tissue based on the decoupling between mRNA and protein expression levels.
• Analyze the relationship between nutritional supplementation and immune quiescence based on the attenuation of stress-responsive effectors like ULBP13 and GZMB.
• Investigate selenoprotein-mediated redox fortification in myocardial molecular networks.

Strengths

• Integrates transcriptomic and proteomic data from 4,080 cognate gene-protein pairs.
• Contains specific differential expression results: 140 DEGs and 254 DEPs.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (651.7 KB), indicating limited scope.
