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

open access: yesGenetics 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

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

open access: yesGenetics 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

Beyond 'behaviour' : the institutionalisation of practice and the case of energy-efficient lighting in Denmark [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In contrast with approaches which focus on behaviour relating to purchasing decisions and attitudes of consumers, research on social practices emphasises the analysis of what people routinely do and the elements of practice underpinning ...

\u3ci\u3eMcphersonarcys\u3c/i\u3e, a New Genus for \u3ci\u3ePentatoma Aequalis\u3c/i\u3e Say (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A new monotypic genus, Mcphersonarcys is erected to hold Pentatoma aequalis Say, a species formerly placed in the genus Hymenarcys. Based on the distribution of 19 character-states Hymenarcys forms a clade with its sister genus Coenus.

DESCRIPTION OF \u3ci\u3eHAKKA\u3c/i\u3e, A NEW GENUS OF JUMPING SPIDER (ARANEAE, SALTICIDAE) FROM HAWAII AND EAST ASIA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We describe a new genus for a jumping spider that was originally placed in the large genus Menemerus Simon 1868, from which the new genus is clearly different. They were later reclassified as Icius, then as Pseudicius, and still later as Salticus.

Rare and population-specific functional variation across pig lines

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background It is expected that functional, mainly missense and loss-of-function (LOF), and regulatory variants are responsible for most phenotypic differences between breeds and genetic lines of livestock species that have undergone diverse selection ...

CARD14/CARMA2 Signaling and its Role in Inflammatory Skin Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

A genome-wide association study for loin depth and muscle pH in pigs from intensely selected purebred lines

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim at identifying genomic regions involved in phenotype expression, but identifying causative variants is difficult.

The genus Castanediella [PDF]

open access: yesMycoKeys, 2019
Two new species, Castanediellabrevis and C.monoseptata, are described, illustrated and compared with other Castanediella taxa. Evidence for the new species is provided by morphological comparison and sequence data analyses. Castanediellabrevis can be distinguished from other Castanediella species by the short hyaline conidiophores and fusiform ...

Microbiome-driven breeding strategy potentially improves beef fatty acid profile benefiting human health and reduces methane emissions

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2022
Background Healthier ruminant products can be achieved by adequate manipulation of the rumen microbiota to increase the flux of beneficial fatty acids reaching host tissues.
