Short Communication: Comparing the microbiota diversity from the core, middle part and rind of six Spanish commercial goat cheeses
(Elsevier, 2024-05-23)
The cheese core has a lower oxygen saturation and salinity and a higher acidity than the rind, but there is controversy about the incidence of such factors on the magnitude of microbial diversity. The ...
Effect on Feeding Behaviour and Growing of Being a Dominant or Subordinate Growing Pig and Its Relationship with the Faecal Microbiota
(MDPI, 2024-06-27)
Pigs are a social species, and they establish hierarchies for better use of resources and to reduce conflicts. However, in pig production, the opportunities for growth can differ between dominant and ...
A systems biology framework integrating GWAS and RNA-seq to shed light on the molecular basis of sperm quality in swine
(BMC, 2020-12-08)
Background
Genetic pressure in animal breeding is sparking the interest of breeders for selecting elite boars with higher sperm quality to optimize ejaculate doses and fertility rates. However, the ...
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 ...
Copy Number Variation on ABCC2-DNMBP Loci Affects the Diversity and Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-31)
Genetic variation in the pig genome partially modulates the composition of porcine gut microbial communities. Previous studies have been focused on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Global analysis of the association between pig muscle fatty acid composition and gene expression using RNA-Seq
(Nature Research, 2023-01-11)
Fatty acids (FAs) play an essential role as mediators of cell signaling and signal transduction, affecting metabolic homeostasis and determining meat quality in pigs. However, FAs are transformed by the ...
Identification of candidate regulatory genes for intramuscular fatty acid composition in pigs by transcriptome analysis
(BMC, 2024-02-12)
Background
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition are typically controlled by several genes, each with a small effect. In the current study, to pinpoint candidate genes and ...
Gene co-expression network analysis for porcine intramuscular fatty acid composition
(Elsevier, 2024-07-17)
In pigs, meat quality depends markedly on the fatty acid (FA) content and composition of the intramuscular fat, which is partly determined by the gene expression in this tissue. The aim of this work was ...
