A functional regulatory variant of MYH3 influences muscle fiber-type composition and intramuscular fat content in pigs
(PLoS Genetics, 2019-10-11)Muscle development and lipid accumulation in muscle critically affect meat quality of livestock. However, the genetic factors underlying myofiber-type specification and intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation ... -
A gene co-association network regulating gut microbial communities in a Duroc pig population
(Microbiome, 2021-02-21)Background. Analyses of gut microbiome composition in livestock species have shown its potential to contribute to the regulation of complex phenotypes. However, little is known about the host genetic ... -
A global analysis of CNVs in swine using whole genome sequence data and association analysis with fatty acid composition and growth traits
(PLoS ONE, 2017-05-04)Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genetic variants complementary to SNPs, and can be considered as biomarkers for some economically important traits in domestic animals. In the present study, ... -
A high-resolution life cycle impact assessment model for continental freshwater habitat change due to water consumption
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-03-22)Global value chains and climate change have a significant impact on water resources and increasingly threaten freshwater ecosystems. Recent methodological proposals for life cycle impact assessment ... -
A hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based coating inhibits ethylene-dependent quality changes and reduces superficial scald incidence and blue mould severity during postharvest handling of two apple varieties
(Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2023-10-12)The search of new alternatives to substitute postharvest treatments based on synthetic chemicals has gained attention on recent years due to social pressure and stricter legislative policies. Consequently, ... -
