Recombination of the porcine X chromosome: a high density linkage mapBMC Genetics - Tập 15 - Trang 1-6 - 2014

Linkage maps are essential tools for the study of several topics in genome biology. High density linkage maps for the porcine autosomes have been constructed exploiting the high density data provided by the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip. However, a high density SSCX linkage map has not been reported up to date. The aim of the current study was to build an accurate linkage map of SSCX to provide precise es...... hiện toàn bộ
Genome-wide association study identified three major QTL for carcass weight including the PLAG1-CHCHD7 QTN for stature in Japanese Black cattleBMC Genetics - Tập 13 - Trang 1-11 - 2012

Significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) for carcass weight were previously mapped on several chromosomes in Japanese Black half-sib families. Two QTL, CW-1 and CW-2, were narrowed down to 1.1-Mb and 591-kb regions, respectively. Recent advances in genomic tools allowed us to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in cattle to detect associations in a general population and estimate their...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring the roles of fecundity-related long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs in the adrenal glands of small-tailed Han SheepBMC Genetics - Tập 21 - Trang 1-11 - 2020

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can play important roles in uterine and ovarian functions. However, little researches have been done on the role of lncRNAs in the adrenal gland of sheep. Herein, RNA sequencing was used to compare and analyze gene expressions in adrenal tissues between follicular phases and luteal phases in FecBBB (MM) and FecB++ (WW) sheep, respectively, and differentially expresse...... hiện toàn bộ

Numerous studies have demonstrated significant differences in the expression level across continental human populations. Most of published results were performed on B-cell lines materials examined under specific laboratory conditions, without further validation in a primary biological material. The goal of our study was to identify mRNA markers characterized by a significant and stable difference ...... hiện toàn bộ
Methods of tagSNP selection and other variables affecting imputation accuracy in swineBMC Genetics - Tập 14 - Trang 1-14 - 2013

Genotype imputation is a cost efficient alternative to use of high density genotypes for implementing genomic selection. The objective of this study was to investigate variables affecting imputation accuracy from low density tagSNP (average distance between tagSNP from 100kb to 1Mb) sets in swine, selected using LD information, physical location, or accuracy for genotype imputation. We compared re...... hiện toàn bộ
Genome-wide association study for female fertility in Nordic Red cattleBMC Genetics - Tập 16 - Trang 1-11 - 2015

The Nordic Red Cattle (NRC) consists of animls belonging to the Danish Red, Finnish Ayrshire, and Swedish Red breeds. Compared to the Holstein breed, NRC animals are smaller, have a shorter calving interval, lower mastitis incidence and lower rates of stillborn calves, however they produce less milk, fat and protein. Female fertility is an important trait for the dairy cattle farmer. Selection dec...... hiện toàn bộ
Small GTP-binding protein PdRanBP regulates vascular tissue development in poplarBMC Genetics - Tập 17 - Trang 1-15 - 2016
Shaofeng Li, Qinjun Huang, Bingyu Zhang, Jianhui Zhang, Xue Liu, Mengzhu Lu, Zanmin Hu, Changjun Ding, Xiaohua Su
Previous research has demonstrated that ectopic expression of Ran-binding protein (RanBP) in Arabidopsis results in more axillary buds and reduced apical dominance compared to WT plants. However, the function of RanBP in poplar, which has very typical secondary growth, remains unclear. Here, the Populus deltoides (Marsh.) RanBP gene (PdRanBP) was isolated and functionally characterized by ectopic ...... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular cytogenetics of valuable Arctic and sub-Arctic pasture grass species from the Aveneae/Poeae tribe complex (Poaceae)BMC Genetics - Tập 20 - Trang 1-16 - 2019

Grasslands in the Arctic tundra undergo irreversible degradation due to climatic changes and also over-exploitation and depletion of scarce resources. Comprehensive investigations of cytogenomic structures of valuable Arctic and sub-Arctic grassland species is essential for clarifying their genetic peculiarities and phylogenetic relationships, and also successful developing new forage grass cultiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic variation in populations of the earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, across contaminated mine sitesBMC Genetics - Tập 18 - Trang 1-13 - 2017
Craig Anderson, Luis Cunha, Pierfrancesco Sechi, Peter Kille, David Spurgeon
Populations of the earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, are commonly found across highly contaminated former mine sites and are considered to have under-gone selection for mitigating metal toxicity. Comparison of adapted populations with those found on less contaminated soils can provide insights into ecological processes that demonstrate the long-term effects of soil contamination. Contemporary sequenc...... hiện toàn bộ
