Maternal age affects equine day 8 embryo gene expression both in trophoblast and inner cell mass

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Breeding a mare until she is not fertile or even until her death is common in equine industry but the fertility decreases as the mare age increases. Embryo loss due to reduced embryo quality is partly accountable for this observation.

Preimplantation factor modulates trophoblastic invasion throughout the decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021
Background Successful human embryo implantation requires the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) into decidual cells during a process called decidualization.

The Mare: A Pertinent Model for Human Assisted Reproductive Technologies?

Animals, 2021
Although there are large differences between horses and humans for reproductive anatomy, follicular dynamics, mono-ovulation, and embryo development kinetics until the blastocyst stage are similar.

Prevalence, comorbidity, and breed differences in canine anxiety in 13,700 Finnish pet dogs

Scientific Reports, 2020
Behaviour problems and anxieties in dogs decrease their quality of life and may lead to relinquishment or euthanasia. Considering the large number of pet dogs and the commonness of these problematic behaviours, a better understanding of the epidemiology ...

Structural and Functional Characterization of a Testicular Long Non-coding RNA (4930463O16Rik) Identified in the Meiotic Arrest of the Mouse Topaz1–/– Testes

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Spermatogenesis involves coordinated processes, including meiosis, to produce functional gametes. We previously reported Topaz1 as a germ cell-specific gene highly conserved in vertebrates.

Slow and steady wins the race: The behaviour and welfare of commercial faster growing broiler breeds compared to a commercial slower growing breed

PLoS ONE, 2020
Broilers have been bred for fast growth which has led to welfare problems such as high mortality, lameness and skin lesions. Slower growing breeds are thought to have better welfare but are not as efficient in production. This study investigated welfare,

Family Firms: A Breed of Extremes?

Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice, 2020
Conflicts in the family business literature abound due to the breed’s heterogeneity. However, a key aspect of heterogeneity has been ignored—a tendency for many family firms to gravitate toward unusual and opposite extremes in their behavior toward ...

Will whole-genome sequencing become the first-line genetic analysis for male infertility in the near future?

Basic and Clinical Andrology, 2021
Résumé Alors que la stratégie actuelle d'analyse de génétique moléculaire de l'infertilité masculine est basée sur une approche dite "gène candidat", le développement des technologies de séquençage de nouvelle génération, comme le séquençage complet de l'

Breeding without breeding

Genetics Research, 2009
SummaryAn innovative approach to tree breeding called ‘breeding without breeding’ (BWB) is presented. The method, as applied on the material in hand, allows the capture of 75–85% of the genetic response to selection attained through conventional programmes without the need to do any controlled pollination and simplified or possibly no experimental ...

Effects of micronutrient supplementation on performance and epigenetic status in dairy cows

Animal, 2020
The postpartum period is crucial in dairy cows and is marked by major physiological and metabolic changes that affect milk production, immune response and fertility.
