Comparative Transcriptome Profile between Iberian Pig Varieties Provides New Insights into Their Distinct Fat Deposition and Fatty Acids Content
(MDPI, 2021-02-27)
The high deposition of intramuscular fat and the content of oleic fatty acid are characteristic of the Iberian pig. These two parameters present great variability and are differentiated amongst the ...
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., ...
Feature Selection Stability and Accuracy of Prediction Models for Genomic Prediction of Residual Feed Intake in Pigs Using Machine Learning
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-22)
Feature selection (FS, i.e., selection of a subset of predictor variables) is essential in high-dimensional datasets to prevent overfitting of prediction/classification models and reduce computation ...
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 ...
A Co-Association Network Analysis Reveals Putative Regulators for Health-Related Traits in Pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-26)
In recent years, the increase in awareness of antimicrobial resistance together with the societal demand of healthier meat products have driven attention to health-related traits in livestock production. ...
Diet, Immunity, and Microbiota Interactions: An Integrative Analysis of the Intestine Transcriptional Response and Microbiota Modulation in Gilthead Seabream (Sparus aurata) Fed an Essential Oils-Based Functional Diet
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-04)
Essential oils (EOs) are promising alternatives to chemotherapeutics in animal production due to their immunostimulant, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, without associated environmental or ...
Understanding host-microbiota interactions in the commercial piglet around weaning
(Nature Research, 2021-12-06)
Weaning is a critical period in the life of pigs with repercussions on their health and welfare and on the
economy of the swine industry. This study aimed to assess the efect of the commercial early ...
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 ...
