Single-base editing in IGF2 improves meat production and intramuscular fat deposition in Liang Guang Small Spotted pigs

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Chinese indigenous pigs are popular with consumers for their juiciness, flavour and meat quality, but they have lower meat production. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a maternally imprinted growth factor that promotes skeletal muscle ...

Antifungal Activity of Thymol against Aspergillus awamori and Botrytis aclada Isolated from Stored Onion Bulbs

Mycobiology, 2022
The antifungal activity of thymol against Aspergillus awamori F23 and Botrytis aclada F15 in onions was examined through direct treatment with amended media and gaseous treatment with I-plates (plastic plates containing central partitions).

Integration of microbiome and Koch’s postulates to reveal multiple bacterial pathogens of whitish muscle syndrome in mud crab, Scylla paramamosain

Microbiome, 2023
Background For more than a century, the Koch’s postulates have been the golden rule for determining the causative agents in diseases. However, in cases of multiple pathogens-one disease, in which different pathogens can cause the same disease, the ...

Design of a Bacteriophage-Based Product for Biocontrol of Fire Blight and Black Rot. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Phytopathogenic bacteria threaten crops, and while chemical pesticides are effective, they harm ecosystems. Bacteriophages like ɸEF1, ɸEF2 and ɸXF1 show promise as biocontrol agents. They remain stable at 4°C and 20°C under neutral conditions, with stability enhanced by additives like CaCO3, improving field effectiveness for ecological and sustainable ...

Baculovirus infection induces disruption of the nuclear lamina

Scientific Reports, 2017
Baculovirus nucleocapsids egress from the nucleus primarily via budding at the nuclear membrane. The nuclear lamina underlying the nuclear membrane represents a substantial barrier to nuclear egress. Whether the nuclear lamina undergoes disruption during

An integrated analysis revealed different microRNA-mRNA profiles during skeletal muscle development between Landrace and Lantang pigs

Scientific Reports, 2017
Pigs supply vital dietary proteins for human consumption, and their economic value depends largely on muscle production. MicroRNAs are known to play important roles in skeletal muscle development. However, their relationship to distinct muscle production

The SNPs in myoD gene from normal muscle developing individuals have no effect on muscle mass

BMC Genetics, 2019
Background Myogenic Differentiation 1 (MyoD) is a crucial master switch in regulating muscle-specific gene transcription. Forced expression of myoD is equipped to induce several cell lineages into myoblast, which then differentiate and fuse into myotube.

Highly efficient correction of structural mutations of 450 kb KIT locus in kidney cells of Yorkshire pig by CRISPR/Cas9

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2019
The white coat colour of Yorkshire and Landrace pig breeds is caused by the dominant white I allele of KIT, associated with 450-kb duplications and a splice mutation (G > A) at the first base in intron 17.

The transcriptome of Icerya aegyptiaca (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae) and comparison with neococcoids reveal genetic clues of evolution in the scale insects

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Scale insects are worldwide sap-sucking parasites, which can be distinguished into neococcoids and non-neococcoids. Neococcoids are monophyletic with a peculiar reproductive system, paternal genome elimination (PGE). Different with neococcoids,

Targeted integration in human cells through single crossover mediated by ZFN or CRISPR/Cas9

BMC Biotechnology, 2018
Background Targeted DNA integration is widely used in basic research and commercial applications because it eliminates positional effects on transgene expression.
