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 ...
Integration of liver gene co-expression networks and eGWAs analyses highlighted candidate regulators implicated in lipid metabolism in pigs
(Nature Research, 2017-04-19)
In the present study, liver co-expression networks and expression Genome Wide Association Study
(eGWAS) were performed to identify DNA variants and molecular pathways implicated in the functional
regulatory ...
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 ...
Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 Gene Is Associated with a Major QTL Effect on Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-14)
Background: The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the ratelimiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in ...
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Nature Research, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits
affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ...
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 ...
Association between the pig genome and its gut microbiota composition
(Nature Research, 2019-06-19)
The gut microbiota has been evolving with its host along the time creating a symbiotic relationship. In this study, we assess the role of the host genome in the modulation of the microbiota composition ...
