Analysing the Expression of Eight Clock Genes in Five Tissues From Fasting and Fed Sows
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-18)
In a previous study, we observed that circadian clock genes are differentially expressed
in the skeletal muscle of fasting and fed sows. The goal of the current work was
to investigate if these genes ...
Co-expression network analysis predicts a key role of microRNAs in the adaptation of the porcine skeletal muscle to nutrient supply
(BMC, 2020-01-17)
Background
The role of non-coding RNAs in the porcine muscle metabolism is poorly understood, with few studies investigating their expression patterns in response to nutrient supply. Therefore, we aimed ...
Polymorphisms of the cryptochrome 2 and mitoguardin 2 genes are associated with the variation of lipid-related traits in Duroc pigs
(Nature Research, 2019-06-21)
The genetic factors determining the phenotypic variation of porcine fatness phenotypes are still largely
unknown. We investigated whether the polymorphism of eight genes (MIGA2, CRY2, NPAS2, CIART,
ARNTL2, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-09-02)
Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a
systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ...
About the existence of common determinants of gene expression in the porcine liver and skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2019-06-24)
Background: The comparison of expression QTL (eQTL) maps obtained in different tissues is an essential step to
understand how gene expression is genetically regulated in a context-dependent manner. In ...
