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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Influence of dietary n-3 long-chain fatty acids on microbial diversity and composition of sows’ feces, colostrum, milk, and suckling piglets’ feces
(Frontiers Media, 2022-12-05)
Introduction: Very little is known about the impact of n-3 long-chain fatty acids (n-3 LCFAs) on the microbiota of sows and their piglets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of n-3 LCFA ...
Annotated 18S and 28S rDNA reference sequences of taxa in the planktonic diatom family Chaetocerotaceae
(PLOS, 2018-12-26)
The species-rich diatom family Chaetocerotaceae is common in the coastal marine phytoplankton worldwide where it is responsible for a substantial part of the primary production. Despite its relevance ...
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 ...
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. ...
Identification of strong candidate genes for backfat and intramuscular fatty acid composition in three crosses based on the Iberian pig
(Nature Research, 2020-08-18)
Meat quality has an important genetic component and can be modified by the fatty acid (FA) composition and the amount of fat contained in adipose tissue and muscle. The present study aimed to find genomic ...
Identification of transcriptional regulatory variants in pig duodenum, liver, and muscle tissues
(Oxford University Press, 2023-06-24)
Background
In humans and livestock species, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been applied to study the association between variants distributed across the genome and a phenotype of interest. ...
