An association analysis between a polymorphism in the SEC24A gene and lipid traits recorded in Duroc pigs
(Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2021-10-05)By regulating the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR), the SEC24A protein modulates the clearance of plasma cholesterol in mice. The whole-genome sequencing of five Duroc boars that ... -
An association analysis for 14 candidate genes mapping to meat quality quantitative trait loci in a Duroc pig population reveals that the ATP1A2 genotype is highly associated with muscle electric conductivity
(Animal Genetics, 2019-10-21)In previous GWAS carried out in a Duroc commercial line (Lipgen population), we detected on pig chromosomes 3, 4 and 14 several QTL for gluteus medius muscle redness (GM a*), electric conductivity in ... -
An Attempt to Characterize the Ciguatoxin Profile in Seriola fasciata Causing Ciguatera Fish Poisoning in Macaronesia
(Toxins, 2019-04-13)Ciguatera Fish Poisoning is a worldwide concern caused by the consumption of fish contaminated with ciguatoxins not only in endemic regions in the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean Sea but also in emerging ... -
An attempt to predict conformation and fatness in bulls by means of artificial neural networks using weight, age and breed composition information
(Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2015)The present study aimed to predict conformation and fatness grades in bulls based on data available at slaughter (carcass weight, age and breed proportions) by means of counter-propagation artificial ... -
An automated and improved methodology to retrieve long-time series of evapotranspiration based on remote sensing and reanalysis data
(Remote Sensing, 2022-12-09)The large-scale quantification of accurate evapotranspiration (ET) time series has substantially been developed in recent decades using automated approaches based on remote sensing data. However, there ... -
An efficient CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment sequencing strategy for characterizing complex and highly duplicated genomic regions. A case study in the Prunus salicina LG3-MYB10 genes cluster
(Plant Methods, 2022-08-27)Background: Genome complexity is largely linked to diversifcation and crop innovation. Examples of regions with duplicated genes with relevant roles in agricultural traits are found in many crops. In ... -
An Endeavor to Find Starter Feed Alternatives and Techniques for Zebrafish First-Feeding Larvae: The Effects on Viability, Morphometric Traits, Digestive Enzymes, and Expression of Growth-Related Genes
(Zebrafish, 2021-02-12)Low and variable growth and survival rates (SR) of 6–10 days postfertilization zebrafish larvae are a problem. This problem seems to be linked to starter feed characteristics. This study is an attempt ... -
An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome
(Scientific Reports, 2018-05-24)We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ... -
