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. ...
Analysis of porcine adipose tissue transcriptome reveals differences in de novo fatty acid synthesis in pigs with divergent muscle fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2013-12-01)
Background: In pigs, adipose tissue is one of the principal organs involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism.
It is particularly involved in the overall fatty acid synthesis with consequences in ...
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., ...
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 ...
