Effects of Copy Number Variations in the Plectin (PLEC) Gene on the Growth Traits and Meat Quality of Leizhou Black Goats

Animals, 2023
The plectin (PLEC) gene is crucial in regulating muscle development and maintaining the cytoskeleton. An abnormal expression of PLEC can lead to muscle atrophy and muscular dystrophy.

Identification of Quantitative Traits Loci (QTL) Affecting Growth Traits in Pigs

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2005
Molecular genetic markers were used to detect chromosomal regions which contain economically important traits such as growth, carcass, and meat quality traits in pigs. A three generation resource population was constructed from a cross between Korean native boars and Landrace sows.

Genetic correlations between meat quality traits and growth and carcass traits in Merino sheep1 [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2018
Genetic correlations between 16 meat quality and nutritional value traits and live weight at various ages, live ultrasound fat and muscle depth, carcass measures, and carcass dissection traits were estimated for Merino sheep in the Information Nucleus (IN).

Cis‐regulatory and long noncoding RNA alterations in breast cancer – current insights, biomarker utility, and the critical need for functional validation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Crossing system application and its effect on lambs growth traits [PDF]

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2015
Success of crossing depends on the breeds used and the genetic distance among them, as well the combining ability of maternal and individual heterosis to make the proper choice of breeds employed in a crossing system. The aim of this study is to find the

NMI inhibits cancer stem cell traits by downregulating hTERT in breast cancer. [PDF]

, 2017
N-myc and STAT interactor (NMI) has been proved to bind to different transcription factors to regulate a variety of signaling mechanisms including DNA damage, cell cycle and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. However, the role of NMI in the regulation of

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The influence of feeding behaviour on growth performance, carcass and meat characteristics of growing pigs [PDF]

, 2018
This study investigated the effect of the feeding behaviour on growth performance, and car- cass and meat characteristics of 96 barrows fed ad libitum or restrictively with high or low amino acids (AA) diets according to a 2 7 2 factorial design.

Screening of plant growth promoting traits ofBacillus thuringiensis

Annals of Microbiology, 2008
This study aimed to evaluate the plant growth promoting (PGP) potential ofBacillus thuringiensis. In this context, several genetic determinants of factors implicated in PGP potential were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 16B. thuringiensis strains of different origin and belonging to different subspecies.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
