Development of a Fully Protective Pandemic Avian Influenza Subunit Vaccine in Insect Pupae
(Viruses, 2024-05-23)In this study, we pioneered an alternative technology for manufacturing subunit influenza hemagglutinin (HA)-based vaccines. This innovative method involves harnessing the pupae of the Lepidoptera ... -
A phased genome of the highly heterozygous ‘Texas’ almond uncovers patterns of allele-specific expression linked to heterozygous structural variants
(Horticulture Research, 2024-04-09)The vast majority of traditional almond varieties are self-incompatible, and the level of variability of the species is very high, resulting in a high-heterozygosity genome. Therefore, information on ... -
Transgenic Mouse Bioassay: Evidence That Rabbits Are Susceptible to a Variety of Prion Isolates
(PLoS Pathogens, 2015-08-06)Interspecies transmission of prions is a well-established phenomenon, both experimentally and under field conditions. Upon passage through new hosts, prion strains have proven their capacity to change ... -
Whole-Genome Analysis of Diversity and SNP-Major Gene Association in Peach Germplasm
(PLoS ONE, 2015-09-09)Peach was domesticated in China more than four millennia ago and from there it spread world-wide. Since the middle of the last century, peach breeding programs have been very dynamic generating hundreds ... -
Endometrial gene expression profile of pregnant sows with extreme phenotypes for reproductive efficiency
(Scientific Reports, 2015-10-05)Prolificacy can directly impact porcine profitability, but large genetic variation and low heritability have been found regarding litter size among porcine breeds. To identify key differences in gene ... -
Metatranscriptomics reveals metabolic adaptation and induction of virulence factors by Haemophilus parasuis during lung infection
(Veterinary Research, 2015-09-23)Haemophilus parasuis is a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract of pigs, and the causative agent of Glässer’s disease. This disease is characterized by polyserositis and arthritis, produced ... -
Exploring the Antiviral Potential of Natural Compounds against Influenza: A Combined Computational and Experimental Approach
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2024-04-30)The influenza A virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), which is crucial for viral replication and immune evasion, has been identified as a significant drug target with substantial potential to contribute ... -
Impact of Nutritional Strategies to Prevent Post-Weaning Diarrhoea on Performance, Behaviour, and Microbiota in Piglets from Organic Farming
(Animals, 2024-06-08)Organic livestock farming is committed to high environmental and animal welfare standards, although pathologies such as post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) may appear. The main objective of this study was to ... -
Determination of the melon chloroplast and mitochondrial genome sequences reveals that the largest reported mitochondrial genome in plants contains a significant amount of DNA having a nuclear origin
(BMC Genomics, 2011-08-20)Background: The melon belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among vegetable crops is second only to Solanaceae. The melon has a small genome size (454 Mb), which makes it ... -
