Mutations on a conserved distal enhancer in the porcine C-reactive protein gene impair its expression in liver
(Frontiers Media, 2023-09-14)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an evolutionary highly conserved protein. Like humans, CRP acts as a major acute phase protein in pigs. While CRP regulatory mechanisms have been extensively studied in humans, ...
On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2023-05-01)
Background
Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction ...
Genetic architecture of innate and adaptive immune cells in pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2023-02-06)
Pig industry is facing new challenges that make necessary to reorient breeding programs to produce more robust and resilient pig populations. The aim of the present work was to study the genetic determinism ...
