Technical considerations towards commercialization of porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome (PRRS) virus resistant pigs

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022
The selection and introduction of disease resistance genes in livestock not only provide health benefits to animals but opportunities for breeders and farmers to meet the growing demand for high-quality meat and milk while reducing agriculture’s ...

Responsible innovation as transformational entrepreneurship by disabled people

Journal of Responsible Innovation, 2023
Responsible innovation (RI) has emerged as a powerful idea concerning the effective governance of science, technology and innovation. While much attention has been devoted to understanding and promoting RI within science and research policy addressing ...

Using residual regressions to quantify and map signal leakage in genomic prediction

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Most genomic prediction applications in animal breeding use genotypes with tens of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, modern sequencing technologies and imputation algorithms can generate ultra-high-density genotypes

The Female Reproductive Tract Microbiota: Friends and Foe

Life, 2023
We do not seem to be the only owner of our body; it houses a large population of microorganisms. Through countless years of coevolution, microbes and hosts have developed complex relationships.

Humoral Immune Response Diversity to Different COVID-19 Vaccines: Implications for the “Green Pass” Policy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
In the COVID-19 pandemic year 2021, several countries have implemented a vaccine certificate policy, the “Green Pass Policy” (GPP), to reduce virus spread and to allow safe relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions and reopening of social and economic ...

Using pre-selected variants from large-scale whole-genome sequence data for single-step genomic predictions in pigs

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data harbor causative variants that may not be present in standard single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip data. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of using preselected variants from WGS for

Genetic and phenotypic time trends of litter size, piglet mortality, and birth weight in pigs

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023
IntroductionLitter size in pigs has increased steadily since 1990. Because of unfavorable genetic correlations with piglet mortality, breeding goals should include survival traits next to litter size.

Accuracy of whole-genome sequence imputation using hybrid peeling in large pedigreed livestock populations

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020
Background The coupling of appropriate sequencing strategies and imputation methods is critical for assembling large whole-genome sequence datasets from livestock populations for research and breeding. In this paper, we describe and validate the coupling

Sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background In this work, we investigated sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs. A functional CD163 protein is required for infection by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, which is a serious

CARD14/CARMA2 Signaling and its Role in Inflammatory Skin Disorders

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
CARMA proteins represent a family of scaffold molecules which play several crucial biological functions, including regulation of immune response and inflammation, tissue homeostasis, and modulation of G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) signaling.
