Gut eukaryotic communities in pigs: diversity, composition and host genetics contribution
(BMC, 2020-05-07)
Background
The pig gut microbiome harbors thousands of species of archaea, bacteria, viruses and eukaryotes such as protists and fungi. However, since the majority of published studies have been focused ...
Identification of eQTLs associated with lipid metabolism in Longissimus dorsi muscle of pigs with different genetic backgrounds
(Nature Research, 2020-06-17)
Intramuscular fat content and its fatty acid composition affect porcine meat quality and its nutritional value. The present work aimed to identify genomic variants regulating the expression in the porcine ...
Networks of inbreeding coefficients in a selected population of rabbits
(Wiley, 2020-08-17)
The correlation between pedigree and genomic‐based inbreeding coefficients is usually discussed in the literature. However, some of these correlations could be spurious. Using partial correlations and ...
Impact of multi-output and stacking methods on feed efficiency prediction from genotype using machine learning algorithms
(Wiley, 2023-07-05)
Feeding represents the largest economic cost in meat production; therefore, selection to improve traits related to feed efficiency is a goal in most livestock breeding programs. Residual feed intake ...
Genotype by feeding regimen interactions for slaughter traits in rabbit and expected responses under restricted and full feeding
(Wiley, 2022-05-12)
The interaction between the genotype and feeding regimen (G×FR) for slaughter traits was estimated from data corresponding to 2557 animals under full (FF) and 2424 with restricted feeding (RF). Expected ...
Mutations on a conserved distal enhancer in the porcine C-reactive protein gene impair its expression in liver
(Frontiers Media, 2023-09-14)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an evolutionary highly conserved protein. Like humans, CRP acts as a major acute phase protein in pigs. While CRP regulatory mechanisms have been extensively studied in humans, ...
Identification of candidate regulatory genes for intramuscular fatty acid composition in pigs by transcriptome analysis
(BMC, 2024-02-12)
Background
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition are typically controlled by several genes, each with a small effect. In the current study, to pinpoint candidate genes and ...
Social network analysis of agonistic behaviour and its association with economically important traits in pigs
(MDPI, 2020-11-16)
Aggression behaviour has several negative consequences on the performance and welfare of pigs. Here, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach was employed to (1) identify individual traits that describe ...
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 ...
