Non-Linear Mixed Models for the Characterization of Growth Trajectory Measured by Ultrasound of 'San Pedreño' Creole Pig Breed From Colombia. [PDF]
Using real‐time ultrasound images taken in vivo, the thickness of back fat and the longissimus dorsi muscle width can be estimated in ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs. ABSTRACT The aim was to identify non‐linear regression models, under the context of mixed models, to describe the growth trajectory of ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs based on two muscular ...

Zrsr2 and functional U12-dependent spliceosome are necessary for follicular development
Summary: ZRSR2 is a splicing factor involved in recognition of 3′-intron splice sites that is frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies and several tumors; however, the role of mutations of Zrsr2 in other tissues has not been analyzed.

Embryo culture in presence of oviductal fluid induces DNA methylation changes in bovine blastocysts [PDF]
During the transit through the oviduct, the early embryo initiates an extensive DNA methylation reprogramming of its genome. Given that these epigenetic modifications are susceptible to environmental factors, components present in the oviductal milieu ...

Advances in synchronization and superovulation protocols from donor bovine embryo [PDF]
Despite the fact that research efforts in recent years have led to little or no increase in the number of transferable embryos after superovulation, the protocols that control the emergence of the follicular wave (Bo et al., 1995; 2002 ) and the time of ...

Modulation of glycolisis and the pentose phosphate pathway influences porcine oocyte in vitro maturation [PDF]
Glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) activities were modulated in porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) during in vitro maturation (IVM) by the addition of inhibitors or stimulators of key enzymes of the pathways to elucidate their relative ...

Assessing losses of genetic variability in the endangered Mallorquí horse
Information contained in the studbook of the endangered Mallorquí horse was analysed to assess the genetic variability of the breed. Also, the effect of selection for coat colour variation was assessed using a set of 15 microsatellites genotyped on 68 ...
