Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Association between VDR polymorphism and multiple sclerosis

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2008
Genotypes and haplotypes frequencies for VDR polymorphisms in case-control studies of multiple sclerosis (MS) were investigated. Results show an association of VDR T/t variant with diseases (p < 0,05).

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

The Fragmented Landscape of Shrimp Life Cycle Assessments: Uncovering Methodological Dependence and Analytical Blind Spots

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
Reported environmental impacts of shrimp aquaculture from life cycle assessments (LCAs) vary by over fiftyfold. These discrepancies stem from methodological inconsistencies, which often outweigh actual differences in farming practices. Furthermore, areas of environmental concern including land use change, biodiversity, and toxicity impacts are excluded

A QTL Resource and Comparison Tool for Pigs: PigQTLDB [PDF]

, 2005
During the past decade, efforts to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) in pigs have resulted in hundreds of QTL being reported for growth, meat quality, reproduction, disease resistance, and other traits. It is a challenge to locate, interpret, and compare

Analysis of association between a microsatellite at intron 1 of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene and fat deposition, meat production and quality traits in Italian Large White and Italian Duroc pigs

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2013
A few studies have shown that a microsatellite at intron 1 of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene is associated with several production traits in a few pig populations.

Genome-wide characterization of PEBP family genes in nine Rosaceae tree species and their expression analysis in P. mume

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBPs) constitute a common gene family found among animals, plants and microbes. Plant PEBP proteins play an important role in regulating flowering time, plant architecture as well as seed dormancy ...
