Characterization of bacterial microbiota compositions along the intestinal tract in pigs and their interactions and functions
(Springer Nature, 2018-08-28)
In addition to its value in meat production, the pig is an interesting animal model for human digestive tract studies due to its physiological similarities. The aim of this study was to describe the ...
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 ...
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 ...
New insight into the SSC8 genetic determination of fatty acid composition in pigs
(BMC, 2014-04-23)
Background: Fat content and fatty acid composition in swine are becoming increasingly studied because of their effect on sensory and nutritional quality of meat. A QTL (quantitative trait locus) for ...
Differences in Muscle Transcriptome among Pigs Phenotypically Extreme for Fatty Acid Composition
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-13)
Background: Besides having an impact on human health, the porcine muscle fatty acid profile determines meat quality and taste. The RNA-Seq technologies allowed us to explore the pig muscle transcriptome ...
