Genetic parameters and associated genomic regions for global immunocompetence and other health-related traits in pigs
(Nature Research, 2020-10-28)
The inclusion of health-related traits, or functionally associated genetic markers, in pig breeding programs could contribute to produce more robust and disease resistant animals. The aim of the present ...
Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2017-08-10)
Background: The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism ...
Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-03-13)
Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results
from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ...
A Co-Association Network Analysis Reveals Putative Regulators for Health-Related Traits in Pigs
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-26)
In recent years, the increase in awareness of antimicrobial resistance together with the societal demand of healthier meat products have driven attention to health-related traits in livestock production. ...
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 ...
