Identification of Candidate Genes and Regulatory Factors Underlying Intramuscular Fat Content Through Longissimus Dorsi Transcriptome Analyses in Heavy Iberian Pigs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
One of the most important determinants of meat quality is the intramuscular fat (IMF) content. The development of high-throughput techniques as RNA-seq allows identifying gene pathways and networks with a differential expression (DE) between groups of ...

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Comparative Proteomics Reveals Differences in Host-Pathogen Interaction between Infectious and Commensal Relationship with Campylobacter jejuni

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Campylobacter jejuni is the leading food-borne poisoning in industrialized countries. While the bacteria causes disease in humans, it merely colonizes the gut in poultry or pigs, where seems to establish a commensal relationship.

A Transformation From Methane Concentration From Sniffers to Methane Production for Implementation in Breeding Programs and Comparison With Tier 2 Equation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reducing methane emissions from dairy cattle has gained considerable attention due to its dual benefits of improving feed efficiency and mitigating climate change. Consequently, phenotyping methane emissions in dairy populations has become increasingly important to enable direct genomic selection for lower methane emissions in breeding ...

Genetic correlation of longevity with growth, post-mortem, docility and some morphological traits in the Pirenaica beef cattle breed

Animal, 2012
Survival or longevity is an economically relevant trait in cattle. However, it is not currently included in cattle selection criteria because of the delayed recording of phenotypic data and the high computational demand of survival techniques under ...

Does the Adoption of Improved Cassava Varieties Boost Productivity in Ghana? The Role of Technology, Management, and Structural Gaps

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural development initiatives in sub‐Saharan Africa have emphasized improved crop varieties as a pathway to food security, resilience, and rural poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence often focuses narrowly on plot‐level outcomes and overlooks whole‐farm effects and the substantial heterogeneity in farmers' management practices,

Whole-genome sequencing of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds allows the detection of signatures of selection for adaptation of genetic resources to different breeding and production systems

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020
Background Natural and artificial directional selection in cosmopolitan and autochthonous pig breeds and wild boars have shaped their genomes and resulted in a reservoir of animal genetic diversity.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Changes in Biceps femoris Transcriptome along Growth in Iberian Pigs Fed Different Energy Sources and Comparative Analysis with Duroc Breed

Animals, 2021
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of developmental stage, breed, and diet energy source on the genome-wide expression, meat quality traits, and tissue composition of biceps femoris muscle in growing pure Iberian and Duroc pigs. The
