Impact of Model Parameterisation and Variance Component Estimates on Genomic Predictions of Carcass Traits in Montana Composite Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 431-442, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the influence of variance component (VC) estimates, obtained from different models and two relationship matrices, pedigree‐based (BLUP) and genomic information‐based (ssGBLUP), on genomic predictions of carcass traits in Montana composite cattle.

Unveiling the Role of Rumen Microbiome in Modulating Intramuscular Fat Deposition of Pingliang Red Cattle

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study revealed that rumen microbiota significantly influence IMF deposition in Pingliang Red cattle through taxonomic and functional mechanisms. Limosilactobacillus panis and Fibrobacter succinogenes were identified as potential biomarkers for high IMF content.

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 ...

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.

Large deletions in the DNA primase large subunit PRIM2 are associated with NADP‐malate dehydrogenase activity in a porcine F2 cross

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Large porcine F2 crosses are a valuable resource for discovering QTL and genetic variants for relevant traits. Past studies have been largely limited to SNPs and short insertions and deletions. Structural variants (SVs) are becoming a major area of interest in this respect.
