Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 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 ...
PigBiobank: a valuable resource for understanding genetic and biological mechanisms of diverse complex traits in pigs
(Oxford University Press, 2023-11-13)
To fully unlock the potential of pigs as both agricultural species for animal-based protein food and biomedical models for human biology and disease, a comprehensive understanding of molecular and ...
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(BMC, 2016-04-23)
Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ...
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-09-02)
Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a
systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ...
A Co-Association Network Analysis Reveals Putative Regulators for Health-Related Traits in Pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-26)
In recent years, the increase in awareness of antimicrobial resistance together with the societal demand of healthier meat products have driven attention to health-related traits in livestock production. ...
Gut microbiome and resistome characterization of pigs treated with commonly used post-weaning diarrhea treatments
(BMC, 2024-05-03)
Background The global burden of antimicrobial resistance demands additional measures to ensure the sustainable
and conscious use of antimicrobials. For the swine industry, the post-weaning period is ...
Liver transcriptome profile in pigs with extreme phenotypes of intramuscular fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2012-10-11)
Background: New advances in high-throughput technologies have allowed for the massive analysis of genomic
data, providing new opportunities for the characterization of the transcriptome architectures. ...
Analysis of porcine adipose tissue transcriptome reveals differences in de novo fatty acid synthesis in pigs with divergent muscle fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2013-12-01)
Background: In pigs, adipose tissue is one of the principal organs involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism.
It is particularly involved in the overall fatty acid synthesis with consequences in ...
Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2021-10-24)
Background: The gut microbiota infuences host performance playing a relevant role in homeostasis and function of
the immune system. The aim of the present work was to identify microbial signatures ...
A gene co-association network regulating gut microbial communities in a Duroc pig population
(BMC, 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 ...
