Strain-specific changes in nucleus accumbens transcriptome and motivation for palatable food reward in mice exposed to maternal separation

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
IntroductionIn humans, adversity in childhood exerts enduring effects on brain and increases the vulnerability to psychiatric diseases. It also leads to a higher risk of eating disorders and obesity.

Of Breeding

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006
Believing that science is about precision in defining its terms, we propose the use of breeding as an all-encompassing term for mosquito activity does not always represent the reality of what is happening at a site where mosquitoes, in whatever stage, are present.

Combining accelerometers and direct visual observations to detect sickness and pain in cows of different ages submitted to systemic inflammation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cattle suffering from inflammatory infection display sickness and pain-related behaviours. As these behaviours may be transient and last only a few hours, one may miss them.

Breeding without Breeding: Is a Complete Pedigree Necessary for Efficient Breeding?

PLoS ONE, 2011
Complete pedigree information is a prerequisite for modern breeding and the ranking of parents and offspring for selection and deployment decisions. DNA fingerprinting and pedigree reconstruction can substitute for artificial matings, by allowing parentage delineation of naturally produced offspring.

A comprehensive overview of bull sperm-borne small non-coding RNAs and their diversity across breeds

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2020
Background Mature sperm carry thousands of RNAs, including mRNAs, lncRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs and sncRNAs, though their functional significance is still a matter of debate. Growing evidence suggests that sperm RNAs, especially sncRNAs, are selectively retained

The breeding program of Latxa breed [PDF]

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2007
The present paper describes the breeding program of Latxa breed in Spain. Latxa?s breeding program has been on-going since 1984 and it is focused on increasing milk yield. As a consequence of its implementation, an annual genetic improvement of 3% in milk yield has obtained. Currently, new traits are being considered in the selection breeding goal.
