Teat number plays an important role in the reproductive performance of sows and growth piglets. However, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) candidate genes for teat number-related traits Qingping pigs remain unknown. In this study, we performed GWAS based on whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) insertions/deletions (Indels) total teats five other related 100 pigs. SNPs Indels all were genotyped using 10× whole genome resequencing. General Linear Models (GLM) detected a 28 45 as...

Abstract Stress response is tightly linked to meat quality. The current understanding of the intrinsic mechanism deterioration under stress limited. Here, male piglets were randomly assigned cortisol and control groups. Our results showed that when serum level was significantly increased, color at 1 h postmortem, muscle bundle ratio, apoptosis rate, gene expression levels calcium channel cell including SERCA1 , IP3R1 BAX Bcl-2 Caspase-3 notably increased. However, value drip loss 24...

Labor is a process of inflammation and hormonal changes involving both fetal maternal compartments. MicroRNA-132-3p (miR-132-3p) has been reported to be involved in the development inflammation-related diseases. However, little known about its potential role labor onset. This study aimed explore mechanism miR-132-3p amnion for initiation. In mouse membranes, expression was found increase gradually during late gestation. human amniotic epithelial cell line (WISH), upregulation proinflammatory...

α-globin gene triplication carriers were not anemic in general, while some studies found that coinherited with heterozygous β-thalassemia may cause adverse clinical symptoms, which yet lacks sufficient evidence large populations. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and distribution of as well phenotypic characteristics Ganzhou city, southern China. During 2021-2022, a total 73,967 random individuals who received routine health examinations before marriage genotyped for globin...

Gestation length is a complex polygenic trait that affects pig fetal development. The Qingping (QP) pig, Chinese native black breed, characterized by short gestation length. However, the genetic architecture of still not clear. present study aimed to explore in QP pigs. In this study, selective sweep analyses were performed detect signatures for traits between 100 pigs and 219 from 15 other breeds. addition, differentially expressed genes Large White detected RNA sequencing. Comparing...
