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 ...
Describing variability in pig genes involved in coronavirus infections for a One Health perspective in conservation of animal genetic resources
(Nature Research, 2021-02-09)
Coronaviruses silently circulate in human and animal populations, causing mild to severe diseases. Therefore, livestock are important components of a “One Health” perspective aimed to control these viral ...
Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2017-08-10)
Background: The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism ...
Mixed management in growing and finishing pigs: Differences between gender and their impacts on behavior, growth performance, and physiological parameters
(Public Library of Science, 2023-04-13)
Mixing, a common management strategy used to regroup pigs, has been reported to impair individual performance and affect pig welfare because of the establishment of a new social hierarchy after regrouping. ...
Influence of pre-storage incubation on hatchability traits, thyroid hormones, antioxidative status and immunity of newly hatched chicks at two chicken breeder flock ages
(Elsevier, 2017-04-17)
Egg storage longer than 7 days is associated with negative effects on hatchability traits. Pre-storage incubation has been a suggested method to reduce the negative effects of long-term storage times ...
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 ...
kernInt: A Kernel Framework for Integrating Supervised and Unsupervised Analyses in Spatio-Temporal Metagenomic Datasets
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-28)
The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies allowed relative quantification of microbiome communities and their spatial and temporal variation. In recent years, supervised learning (i.e., ...
Variability in porcine microRNA genes and its association with mRNA expression and lipid phenotypes
(BMC, 2021-05-04)
Background: Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in repressing the expression of a wide range of
mRNAs. The presence of polymorphic sites in miRNA genes and their corresponding 3′UTR binding ...
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 ...
Genome-wide analysis of porcine backfat and intramuscular fat fatty acid composition using high-density genotyping and expression data
(BMC, 2013-12-02)
Background: Porcine fatty acid composition is a key factor for quality and nutritive value of pork. Several QTLs for
fatty acid composition have been reported in diverse fat tissues. The results obtained ...
