DNA methylation and gene expression changes in mouse mammary tissue during successive lactations: part I – the impact of inflammation

Epigenetics, 2023
Mastitis is among the main reasons women cease breastfeeding, which leads to them supplementing breast milk with artificial formula. In farm animals, mastitis results in significant economic losses and the premature culling of some animals. Nevertheless,

Age, introduction of solid feed and weaning are more important determinants of gut bacterial succession in piglets than breed and nursing mother as revealed by a reciprocal cross-fostering model.

Environmental Microbiology, 2016
A reciprocal cross-fostering model with an obese typical Chinese piglet breed and a lean Western breed was used to identify genetic and maternal effects on the acquisition and development gut bacteria from birth until after weaning. Pyrosequencing of 16S

Impact of breed on the fecal microbiome of dogs under the same dietary condition.

Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
The gut microbiome influences the health and well-being of dogs. However, little is known about the impact of breed on the fecal microbiome composition in dogs. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the differences in the fecal microbiome in three breeds of

Physiological breeding

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016
Physiological breeding crosses parents with different complex but complementary traits to achieve cumulative gene action for yield, while selecting progeny using remote sensing, possibly in combination with genomic selection. Physiological approaches have already demonstrated significant genetic gains in Australia and several developing countries of ...

Accelerating Onset of Puberty Through Modification of Early Life Nutrition Induces Modest but Persistent Changes in Bull Sperm DNA Methylation Profiles Post-puberty

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
In humans and model species, alterations of sperm DNA methylation patterns have been reported in cases of spermatogenesis defects, male infertility and exposure to toxins or nutritional challenges, suggesting that a memory of environmental or ...

Dynamics of cattle sperm sncRNAs during maturation, from testis to ejaculated sperm

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2021
Background During epididymal transit, spermatozoa go through several functional maturation steps, resulting from interactions with epididymal secretomes specific to each region.

Frequency and distribution of 152 genetic disease variants in over 100,000 mixed breed and purebred dogs

PLoS Genetics, 2018
Knowledge on the genetic epidemiology of disorders in the dog population has implications for both veterinary medicine and sustainable breeding. Limited data on frequencies of genetic disease variants across breeds exists, and the disease heritage of ...

L’épigénétique et la construction du phénotype chez le bovin

INRAE Productions Animales, 2020
En élevage bovin, une part importante de la variance phénotypique échappe à la sélection génétique, car l’expression des gènes qui contrôlent les caractères d’intérêt est déterminée par des facteurs à la fois génétiques et environnementaux.

Utility of whole-genome sequence data for across-breed genomic prediction

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
BackgroundGenomic prediction (GP) across breeds has so far resulted in low accuracies of the predicted genomic breeding values. Our objective was to evaluate whether using whole-genome sequence (WGS) instead of low-density markers can improve GP across ...

Breed differences of heritable behaviour traits in cats

Scientific Reports, 2019
Cat domestication and selective breeding have resulted in tens of breeds with major morphological differences. These breeds may also show distinctive behaviour differences; which, however, have been poorly studied.
