Chicken genomics

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2018
As one of the most economically important species and a unique model organism for biological and medical research, the chicken represents the first non-mammalian amniotic species to have its genome sequenced; and so far, the chicken reference genome represents the best assembled and annotated avian genome.

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Importance of Indigenous Breeds of Chicken for Rural Economy and Their Improvements for Higher Production Performance

Scientifica, 2016
Indigenous/native breeds of chickens are playing an important role in rural economies in most of the developing and underdeveloped countries. They play a major role for the rural poor and marginalised section of the people with respect to their ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Staphylococcus aureus Burden in Frozen, Precooked Tuna Loins and Growth Behavior During Typical and “Worst-case” Processing Conditions

Journal of Food Protection
FDA’s Seafood HACCP Guidance (SHG) recommends a cumulative exposure time limit of 3 h if product temperature exceeds 21.1 °C (70°F) to minimize the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and prevent staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) production.

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Optimization of Genomic Breeding Value Estimation Model for Abdominal Fat Traits Based on Machine Learning

Animals
Abdominal fat is a key indicator of chicken meat quality. Excessive deposition not only reduces meat quality but also decreases feed conversion efficiency, making the breeding of low-abdominal-fat strains economically important.

Quality of Chicken Meat

Animal Husbandry and Nutrition, 2018
Chicken meat is considered as an easily available source of high-quality protein and other nutrients that are necessary for proper body functioning. In order to meet the consumers’ growing demands for high-quality protein, the poultry industry focused on
