Co-expression network analysis predicts a key role of microRNAs in the adaptation of the porcine skeletal muscle to nutrient supply
(BMC, 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 ...
Analysing the Expression of Eight Clock Genes in Five Tissues From Fasting and Fed Sows
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-18)
In a previous study, we observed that circadian clock genes are differentially expressed
in the skeletal muscle of fasting and fed sows. The goal of the current work was
to investigate if these genes ...
Polymorphisms of the cryptochrome 2 and mitoguardin 2 genes are associated with the variation of lipid-related traits in Duroc pigs
(Nature Research, 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, ...
Variability in porcine microRNA genes and its association with mRNA expression and lipid phenotypes
(BMC, 2021-05-04)
Background: Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in repressing the expression of a wide range of
mRNAs. The presence of polymorphic sites in miRNA genes and their corresponding 3′UTR binding ...
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 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 ...
Comparing the mRNA expression profile and the genetic determinism of intramuscular fat traits in the porcine gluteus medius and longissimus dorsi muscles
(BMC, 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 ...
About the existence of common determinants of gene expression in the porcine liver and skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2019-06-24)
Background: The comparison of expression QTL (eQTL) maps obtained in different tissues is an essential step to
understand how gene expression is genetically regulated in a context-dependent manner. In ...
