Supplementation of xylo-oligosaccharides to suckling piglets promotes the growth of fiber-degrading gut bacterial populations during the lactation and nursery periods
(Nature Research, 2022-07-08)
Modulating early-life microbial colonization through xylo-oligosacharides (XOS) supplementation represents an opportunity to accelerate the establishment of fiber-degrading microbial populations and ...
Genetic architecture of innate and adaptive immune cells in pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2023-02-06)
Pig industry is facing new challenges that make necessary to reorient breeding programs to produce more robust and resilient pig populations. The aim of the present work was to study the genetic determinism ...
Integration of liver gene co-expression networks and eGWAs analyses highlighted candidate regulators implicated in lipid metabolism in pigs
(Nature Research, 2017-04-19)
In the present study, liver co-expression networks and expression Genome Wide Association Study
(eGWAS) were performed to identify DNA variants and molecular pathways implicated in the functional
regulatory ...
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. ...
Copy Number Variation on ABCC2-DNMBP Loci Affects the Diversity and Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-31)
Genetic variation in the pig genome partially modulates the composition of porcine gut microbial communities. Previous studies have been focused on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
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 ...
