Molecular phenomics of a high-calorie diet-induced porcine model of prepubertal obesity
(The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2020-04-24)
As obesity incidence is alarmingly rising among young individuals, we aimed to characterize an experimental model of this situation, considering the similarity between human and porcine physiology. For ...
Effects of breed‐production system on collagen, textural, and sensory traits of 10 European beef cattle breeds
(Journal of Texture Studies, 2018-06-23)
In the current study the collagen, texture, and sensory characteristics of meat from 712 yearling males of 10 local Spanish and French beef breeds raised in their typical production systems were described. ...
Discovery and annotation of novel microRNAs in the porcine genome by using a semi-supervised transductive learning approach
(Genomics, 2019-12-06)
Despite the broad variety of available microRNA (miRNA) prediction tools, their application to the discovery and annotation of novel miRNA genes in domestic species is still limited. In this study we ...
Differential expression of mRNA isoforms in the skeletal muscle of pigs with distinct growth and fatness profiles
(BMC Genomics, 2018-02-14)
Background: The identification of genes differentially expressed in the skeletal muscle of pigs displaying distinct
growth and fatness profiles might contribute to identify the genetic factors that ...
Diversity across major and candidate genes in European local pig breeds
(PLoS ONE, 2018-11-20)
The aim of this work was to analyse the distribution of causal and candidate mutations associated to relevant productive traits in twenty local European pig breeds. Also, the potential of the SNP panel ...
Polymorphisms of the cryptochrome 2 and mitoguardin 2 genes are associated with the variation of lipid-related traits in Duroc pigs
(Scientific Reports, 2019-06-21)
The genetic factors determining the phenotypic variation of porcine fatness phenotypes are still largely
unknown. We investigated whether the polymorphism of eight genes (MIGA2, CRY2, NPAS2, CIART,
ARNTL2, ...
Dietary intake of bioactive ingredients impacts liver and adipose tissue transcriptomes in a porcine model of prepubertal early obesity
(Scientific Reports, 2020-03-25)
Global prevalence of obesity has increased to epidemic proportions over the past 40 years, with childhood obesity reaching alarming rates. In this study, we determined changes in liver and adipose tissue ...
Co-expression network analysis predicts a key role of microRNAs in the adaptation of the porcine skeletal muscle to nutrient supply
(Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2020-01-17)
Background
The role of non-coding RNAs in the porcine muscle metabolism is poorly understood, with few studies investigating their expression patterns in response to nutrient supply. Therefore, we aimed ...
Comparing the mRNA expression profile and the genetic determinism of intramuscular fat traits in the porcine gluteus medius and longissimus dorsi muscles
(BMC Genomics, 2019-03-04)
Background
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and composition have a strong impact on the nutritional and organoleptic properties of porcine meat. The goal of the current work was to compare the patterns ...
Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019-03-13)
Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results
from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ...
