SNPs associated with body weight and backfat thickness in two pig breeds identified by a genome-wide association study.

Genomics, 2019
Growth and fat deposition are important economic traits due to the influence on production in pigs. In this study, a dataset of 1200 pigs with 345,570 SNPs genotyped by sequencing (GBS) was used to conduct a GWAS with single-marker regression method to ...

Meta‐GWAS of Pig Semen Quality Traits Reveals Conserved Genes Regulating Mammalian Fertility

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
This study incorporated 14 210 individuals to perform a GWAS meta‐analysis of six semen quality traits. The GWAS meta‐analysis identifies 234 GWAS loci associated with semen quality traits. The incorporation with a functional genomics resource explains potential genetic regulation of ∼40% GWAS signals underlying semen quality traits.

INSL3 Expression in Leydig Cells is a Biomarker for Immunocastration in Boars: Transcriptional Evidence

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 782-795, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Study aimed to obtain insights into physiological responses to immunocastration in pubertal boars by evaluating effects of alternative vaccination protocols and identifying a reliable immunocastration biomarker. Objectives It was hypothesized that the timing of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) suppression by immunocastration ...

Microbial and Genomic Information Synergistically Contribute to Predicting Swine Performance Across Production Systems

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 256-272, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbiota composition represents a promising tool in precision farming, simultaneously serving as a benchmark of environmental challenge, a predictor of animal physiological status, and a direct target for host selection. In this paper, we compared the ability of microbiota composition and genomic information to predict swine performance in ...

Identification of crucial modules and genes associated with backfat tissue development by WGCNA in Ningxiang pigs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Fat deposition is an economically important trait in pigs. Ningxiang pig, one of the four famous indigenous breeds in China, is characterized by high fat content. The underlying gene expression pattern in different developmental periods of backfat tissue

Genome-wide association study for backfat thickness at 100 kg and loin muscle thickness in domestic pigs based on genotyping by sequencing.

Physiological Genomics, 2019
Both backfat thickness at 100 kg (B100) and loin muscle thickness (LMT) are economically important traits in pigs. In this study, a total of 1,200 pigs (600 Landrace and 600 Yorkshire pigs) were examined with genotyping by sequencing.

Construction of a Multitissue Cell Atlas Reveals Cell‐Type‐Specific Regulation of Molecular and Complex Phenotypes in Pigs

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
This research conducts an in‐depth investigation of cell‐type‐specific regulatory mechanisms underlying molecular and complex phenotypes through integrative analysis of multitissue single‐nucleus RNA sequencing, bulk RNA‐seq, and genome‐wide association study (GWAS) data in pigs.
