Association analysis of IGF2 gene polymorphisms with growth traits of Dezhou donkey
IGF2 is an insulin-like growth factor that plays an important role in the development of animal embryos. In order to determine whether IGF2 gene is associated with important economic characteristics of donkeys, we investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IGF2 gene and body size traits of Chinese Dezhou donkeys and ...

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Slow-Twitch and Fast-Twitch Muscles in Dezhou Donkeys
The skeletal muscle fiber profile is closely related to livestock meat quality. However, the molecular mechanisms determining muscle fiber types in donkeys are not completely understood. In this study, we selected the psoas major muscle (PM; mainly composed of oxidative-type muscle fibers) and biceps femoris muscle (BF; mainly composed of glycolytic ...

Image3_Chromosome-Level Haplotype Assembly for Equus asinu.pdf
Background: Haplotype provides significant insights into understanding genomes at both individual and population levels. However, research on many non-model organisms is still based on independent genetic variations due to the lack of haplotype.Results ...
