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 ...
Expression analysis of porcine miR-33a/b in liver, adipose tissue and muscle and its potential role in fatty acid metabolism
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01-26)
mir-33a and mir-33b are co-transcribed with the SREBF2 and SREBF1 transcription factors, respectively. The main role of SREBF1 is the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, while SREBF2 ...
The Role of Viral and Host MicroRNAs in the Aujeszky’s Disease Virus during the Infection Process
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-24)
Porcine production is a primary market in the world economy. Controlling swine diseases in the farm is essential in order to achieve the sector necessities. Aujeszky’s disease is a viral condition ...
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 ...
