The detection method based on the mathematical expectation (ME) strategy is fast and accuracy for low frequency mutation screening in large samples. Previous studies have found that 14-bp insertion/deletion (indel) variants of 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) within bovine PRNP gene been characterized with (≤5%) global breeds outside China, which has not determined Chinese cattle yet. Therefore, this study aimed to identify indel 5 major indigenous evaluate its associations phenotypic traits....

Sperm-associated antigen 17 (SPAG17) gene encodes a multifunctional cytoplasmic protein, which influences not only reproduction but also skeletal development related body measurement traits, especially height. Thus, this study aimed to identify crucial insertion-deletion (indel) variations, influence the traits of goats in large goat populations (n = 1725). As result, two intronic indels (14 bp and indel) were identified by sequencing. For indel loci, distributions genotypes alleles...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important factors that lead to a decline in sperm quality during semen preservation. Excessive ROS accumulation disrupts the balance of antioxidant system and causes lipid oxidative damage, destroying its structure function. Curcumin is natural plant extract neutralizes enhances function endogenous enzymes. The effect curcumin on preservation sheep has not been reported. This study aims determine effects refrigerated (4 °C) analyze metabolism from Chinese...

Abstract Adipocyte growth and development are complex precisely orchestrated processes. Several microRNAs have been identified as critical regulators of the adipocyte development. Recently, bta‐miR‐204 was found to be involved in adipogenesis; however, underlying molecular mechanism bta‐miR‐204‐mediated regulation proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis adipocytes is not fully understood or elucidated. In this study, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR), Cell Counting...

DNA methylation (DNAm), a major element of epigenetics, plays critical roles in individual development. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) is an effective and economical method for analyzing the single base. The aims this study were to determine DNAm profiles contexts (CGs non-CGs) lactation dry periods goat mammary glands using RRBS, identify potential milk-related genes. proportion CG was highest among all sequence contexts. levels (72.44% 75.24%) occurred 3' UTR region,...

Adipogenesis describes the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of mature adipocytes from primary is regulated by post-transcriptional modifications. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles in mammalian development physiology. However, circRNA-mediated regulation adipogenesis remains poorly understood. We profiled circRNA expression during bovine adipogenesis, detecting 16 candidates, including circPPARγ, which was abundant adipose tissue. Overexpression (overexpression...

In practical production, almost all rams and about 50% of ewes are used to fatten. Researchers have proved that ewe ovariectomy could improve the productivity significantly, but specific molecular mechanism is still unknown. this study, five independent cDNA libraries (three two from ovariectomized normal longissimus dorsi samples, respectively) were constructed thoroughly explore global transcriptome, further reveal how influence muscle development by Illumina2000 sequencing technology. As...

Adipocyte differentiation-associated long noncoding RNA (ADNCR) is a newly discovered lncRNA. It plays function by targeting miR-204 to significantly regulates the expression of target SIRT1 gene in preadipocytes both at level mRNA and protein, thereby inhibiting adipogenesis. The tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) strategy fast accuracy negligible cost for SNP genotyping large samples. In study, novel g.1263T>A intron 1 bovine ADNCR was found. Herein,...
