Endometrial gene expression profile of pregnant sows with extreme phenotypes for reproductive efficiency
(Nature Research, 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 ...
Transgenic Mouse Bioassay: Evidence That Rabbits Are Susceptible to a Variety of Prion Isolates
(Public Library of Science, 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
(Public Library of Science, 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 ...
Metatranscriptomics reveals metabolic adaptation and induction of virulence factors by Haemophilus parasuis during lung infection
(BMC, 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 ...
Development of a Fully Protective Pandemic Avian Influenza Subunit Vaccine in Insect Pupae
(MDPI, 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 ...
PERSEUS: an interactive and intuitive web-based tool for pedigree visualization
(Oxford University Press, 2024-02-03)
Pedigree-based analyses’ prime role is to unravel relationships between individuals in breeding programs and germplasms. This is critical information for decoding the genetics underlying main inherited ...
GenoDrawing: An Autoencoder Framework for Image Prediction from SNP Markers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science; Nanjing Agricultural University, 2023-11-03)
Advancements in genome sequencing have facilitated whole genome characterization of numerous plant species, providing an abundance of genotypic data for genomic analysis. Genomic selection and neural ...
Genomic analysis of fruit size and shape traits in apple: unveiling candidate genes through GWAS analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2023-12-19)
Genomic tools facilitate the efficient selection of improved genetic materials within a breeding program. Here, we focus on two apple fruit quality traits: shape and size. We utilized data from 11 fruit ...
An efficient CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment sequencing strategy for characterizing complex and highly duplicated genomic regions. A case study in the Prunus salicina LG3-MYB10 genes cluster
(BMC, 2022-08-27)
Background: Genome complexity is largely linked to diversifcation and crop innovation. Examples of regions with duplicated genes with relevant roles in agricultural traits are found in many crops. In ...
An LTR retrotransposon in the promoter of a PsMYB10.2 gene associated with the regulation of fruit f lesh color in Japanese plum
(Oxford University Press, 2022-09-13)
Japanese plums exhibit wide diversity of fruit coloration. The red to black hues are caused by the accumulation of anthocyanins, while their absence results in yellow, orange or green fruits. In Prunus, ...
