During early lactation, dairy cows experience a severe metabolic load often resulting in the development of various diseases. The inevitable deficiency nutrients and energy at onset lactation requires an optimal adaptation hepatic metabolism to overcome stress. We conducted whole-liver transcriptome analysis for transition cow identify novel factors crucial adaptation. Liver samples were obtained from 6 Red Holstein (parity 2 7, mean ± standard deviation: 3.7 2.3) 3 time points: T1 = 22 4 d...
BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence after a stroke significantly affects patient outcomes and quality of life. It is commonly associated with uninhibited detrusor contractions, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore brain activity patterns volitional involuntary bladder contractions in survivors. METHODS: cohort enrolled 15 survivors documented urinary 9 healthy controls. Participants underwent simultaneous blood oxygen level–dependent...
Domestication has led to substantial phenotypic and genetic variation in domestic animals. In pigs, the size of so called minipigs differs by one order magnitude compared breeds large body size. We used biallelic SNPs identified from re-sequencing data compare various publicly available wild populations against two minipig gain better understanding background extensive variation. combined complementary measures, expected heterozygosity composite likelihood ratio test implemented...
ABSTRACT Selective breeding is a continued element of both crop and livestock since early prehistory. In this work, we are proposing new web-based simulation framework (“MoBPSweb”) that combining unified language to describe programs with the software MoBPS, standing for ‘Modular Breeding Program Simulator’. Thereby, MoBPSweb providing flexible environment enter, simulate, evaluate compare programs. Inputs can be provided via modules ranging from Vis.js-based flash “drawing” program variety...
ABSTRACT Modern animal breeding programs are constantly evolving with advances in theory, biotechnology and genetics. Surprisingly, there seems to be no generally accepted succinct definition of what exactly a program is, neither is unified language describe comprehensive, unambiguous reproducible way. In this work, we try fill gap by suggesting general that also pertains cases where genetic progress not achieved through selection, but e.g. transgenic technologies, or the aim generate...
