On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2023-05-01)
Background
Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction ...
Interrelation between gut microbiota, SCFA, and fatty acid composition in pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-12-14)
The gut microbiota is a key player in the host metabolism. Some bacteria are able to ferment non-digestible compounds and produce short-chain fatty acids that the host can later transform and accumulate ...
Assessing the relationship between the in silico predicted consequences of 97 missense mutations mapping to 68 genes related to lipid metabolism and their association with porcine fatness traits
(Elsevier, 2023-02-24)
In general, the relationship between the predicted functional consequences of missense mutations mapping to genes known to be involved in human diseases and the severity of disease manifestations is ...
Global analysis of the association between pig muscle fatty acid composition and gene expression using RNA-Seq
(Nature Research, 2023-01-11)
Fatty acids (FAs) play an essential role as mediators of cell signaling and signal transduction, affecting metabolic homeostasis and determining meat quality in pigs. However, FAs are transformed by the ...
