Whole-transcriptome analysis reveals the profiles and roles of coding and non-coding RNAs during hair follicle cycling in Rex rabbits [PDF]
Background Rex rabbit is famous for its silky and soft fur coat, a characteristic predominantly attributed to its hair follicles. Numerous studies have confirmed the crucial roles of mRNAs and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating key cellular processes

Transcriptome analysis reveals key genes and regulatory networks underlying intramuscular fat deposition in rabbits [PDF]
Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a critical determinant of meat quality in rabbits, influencing attributes such as tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. A moderate increase in IMF content is associated with enhanced meat quality.

Microbiome of Total Versus Live Bacteria in the Gut of Rex Rabbits. [PDF]
Gastrointestinal bacteria are essential for host health, and only viable microorganisms contribute to gastrointestinal functions. When evaluating the gut microbiota by next generation sequencing method, dead bacteria, which compose a proportion of gut bacteria, may distort analysis of the live gut microbiota. We collected stomach, jejunum, ileum, cecum,

The functions of ocu-miR-205 in regulating hair follicle development in Rex rabbits. [PDF]
Abstract Background: Hair follicles is an appendage from the vertebrate skin epithelium, and arise from the embryonic ectoderm andregenerate cyclically during adult life. Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) is the key dermal component of the hair follicle that directly regulates hair follicle development, growth and regeneration.

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Chuanbai Rex rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) [PDF]
Chuanbai Rex Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) is a hybrid breed in Sichuan, China. In this study, we reveal the mitochondrial genome sequence of the Chuanbai Rex Rabbit for the first time. The length of the mitochondrial genome is 17,179 bp and contains 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 14 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 D-loop ...

The bacterial communities associated with fecal types and body weight of rex rabbits. [PDF]
AbstractRex rabbit is an important small herbivore for fur and meat production. However, little is known about the gut microbiota in rex rabbit, especially regarding their relationship with different fecal types and growth of the hosts. We characterized the microbiota of both hard and soft feces from rex rabbits with high and low body weight by using ...
