The origin of human pathogenicity and biological interactions in Chaetothyriales
(Springer, 2023-03-01)
Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not
regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat ...
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 ...
Genomic selection of purebreds for crossbred performance
(BMC, 2009-01-15)
Background: One of the main limitations of many livestock breeding programs is that selection is
in pure breeds housed in high-health environments but the aim is to improve crossbred
performance under ...
Genetic comparison of milk production and composition in three maternal rabbit lines
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2014-12-18)
The aim of this study was to compare 3 Spanish maternal rabbit lines (A, V and LP) in terms of milk production and composition. These lines were founded on different criteria but selected for litter ...
Networks of inbreeding coefficients in a selected population of rabbits
(Wiley, 2020-08-17)
The correlation between pedigree and genomic‐based inbreeding coefficients is usually discussed in the literature. However, some of these correlations could be spurious. Using partial correlations and ...
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Nature Research, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits
affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ...
Transcriptional Characterization of Porcine Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-18)
The leptin (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) regulate food intake and energy balance through hypothalamic signaling. However, the LEP-LEPR axis seems to be more complex and its expression regulation has not ...
