Transcriptomic and Lipidomic Characteristics of Subcutaneous Fat Deposition in Small-Sized Meat Ducks

Metabolites
Background: Subcutaneous fat deposition is associated with ducks’ meat quality and the methods used to cook them. However, the reasons underlying the differences in the lipid deposition of small-sized Wuqin10 meat ducks remain unclear.

ZBED6 Knockout Promotes Skeletal Muscle Development in Bama Pigs by Relieving Transcriptional Repression of CDKN1A

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Integrated transcriptomic and functional analyses identify CDKN1A as a direct target of ZBED6 in Bama pigs. ZBED6 knockout relieves transcriptional repression of CDKN1A, thereby promoting myogenic differentiation and skeletal muscle development.

Cumulative Reproductive‐Lactation Burdens Induce a Systemic Immunometabolic Trade‐Off Between Milk Yield and Mammary Health of Dairy Cows

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A population‐scale longitudinal transcriptomic atlas reveals how lactation stage and parity reshape systemic gene regulation in dairy cows. Multiomics‐inspired analyses uncover dynamic immune and metabolic adaptations that contribute to reproductive longevity and sustained productivity across the bovine lifespan.
