Identification of transcriptional regulatory variants in pig duodenum, liver, and muscle tissues
(Oxford University Press, 2023-06-24)
Background
In humans and livestock species, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been applied to study the association between variants distributed across the genome and a phenotype of interest. ...
Analysis of porcine MUC4 gene as a candidate gene for prolificacy QTL on SSC13 in an Iberian × Meishan F2 population
(BMC, 2011-10-31)
Background: Reproductive traits, such as prolificacy, are of great interest to the pig industry. Better understanding
of their genetic architecture should help to increase the efficiency of pig ...
Risk factors and genetic parameters of longevity in Spanish dairy goat breeds using a Weibull proportional hazards model
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-12-07)
The aim of this study was to assess the most important risk factors that influence productive life (PL) and to estimate genetic parameters for PL using a Weibull proportional hazards model in two Spanish ...
An association analysis between a polymorphism in the SEC24A gene and lipid traits recorded in Duroc pigs
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-10-05)
By regulating the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR), the SEC24A protein modulates the clearance of plasma cholesterol in mice. The whole-genome sequencing of five Duroc boars that ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip
(BMC, 2012-05-20)
Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers.
These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
Influence of dietary n-3 long-chain fatty acids on microbial diversity and composition of sows’ feces, colostrum, milk, and suckling piglets’ feces
(Frontiers Media, 2022-12-05)
Introduction: Very little is known about the impact of n-3 long-chain fatty acids (n-3 LCFAs) on the microbiota of sows and their piglets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of n-3 LCFA ...
Muscle transcriptomic profiles in pigs with divergent phenotypes for fatness traits
(BMC, 2010-06-11)
Background: Selection for increasing intramuscular fat content would definitively improve the palatability and
juiciness of pig meat as well as the sensorial and organoleptic properties of cured products. ...
Copy number variation in the porcine genome inferred from a 60 k SNP BeadChip
(BMC, 2010-10-22)
Background: Recent studies in pigs have detected copy number variants (CNVs) using the Comparative Genomic
Hybridization technique in arrays designed to cover specific porcine chromosomes. The goal of ...
Liver transcriptome profile in pigs with extreme phenotypes of intramuscular fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2012-10-11)
Background: New advances in high-throughput technologies have allowed for the massive analysis of genomic
data, providing new opportunities for the characterization of the transcriptome architectures. ...
Competing risk analyses of longevity in Duroc sows with a special emphasis on leg conformation
(Elsevier, 2009-01-01)
A competing risk approach was used to evaluate the influence of several factors on culling risk for 587 Duroc sows. Three
different analyses were performed according to whether sow failure was due to ...
