Abstract The negative effects of heat stress on swine reproduction have been well documented and the recent global warming trend caused by climate change is leading to more days with high temperatures every year. This has a reduction in litter trait performance Landrace sows Taiwan, country extending across tropical subtropical oceanic zones. Therefore, this study developed modified model determine which stages pregnancy, before, early, middle, late, had largest impacts traits. A reaction...
Summary Higher average daily gain, more lean meat yield and less fat of porcine carcass increase selling profits for animal producers. Myostatin ( MSTN ), previously called GDF 8, is a member transforming growth factor‐β TGF ‐β) superfamily. It negative regulator both embryonic development adult homeostasis skeletal muscle. In this study, the genotypes described SNP s g.435 G > A g.447 in 66 D uroc pigs, 33 L andrace 180 × DL ) pigs 155 Y orkshire DYL were determined by T aqman enotyping...
Regional specificity allows different skin regions to exhibit characteristics, enabling complementary functions make effective use of the integumentary surface. Chickens a high degree regional in and can serve as good model for when how these differences begin emerge. We used developing feather scale embryonic chickens gauge their molecular pathways. employed cosine similarity analysis identify differentially regulated co-regulated genes. applied low cell techniques expression validation...
The content of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and arginase in human gastric cancer the corresponding normal mucosal tissues was determined. Among 25 patients studied, GR 33.2±10.2 fmol/mg protein versus 7.6±3.4 tissues. This difference is statistically significant (P < 0.005). Of paired samples, 19 contained GR, whereas only seven had GR. level assayed, it 26.6±4.2 ng/mg which also significantly higher than that (13.5±1.8 protein) Since glucocorticoids are potent immune suppressive agents,...
Average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (FE) are important factors for assessing productivity in farm animals. Myostatin (MSTN), previously called GDF8, is a member of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily. It negative regulator both embryonic development adult homeostasis skeletal muscle. In this study, the genotypes MSTN g.435G > A g.447A G SNPs Duroc pigs were determined. The 435GG/447AA individually had significantly higher ADG (P < 0.01), body weight at 70 d 0.05) 150...
Abstract Background The Mikado pheasant (Syrmaticus mikado) is a nearly endangered species indigenous to high-altitude regions of Taiwan. This provides an opportunity investigate evolutionary processes following geographic isolation. Currently, the genetic background and adaptive evolution remain unclear. Results We present draft genome pheasant, which consists 1.04 Gb DNA 15,972 annotated protein-coding genes. displays expansion positive selection genes related features that contribute its...
An integrated microchip platform with automated analysis capability for DNA melting curves is developed Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) genotyping applications.
The aim of this study was to create a set microsatellite markers with high polymorphism for the genetic monitoring and structure analysis local goose populations.
A continuous-flow microchip with a temperature gradient in microchannels was utilized to demonstrate spatial melting analysis on microbeads for clinical Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping animal genomic DNA. The chip had embedded heaters and thermometers, which created rapid yet stable between 60 °C 85 short distance as the detection region. microbeads, served mobile supports carrying target DNA fluorescent dye, were transported across gradient. As surrounding increased,...
The quality characteristics of semen are important indicators the fertility a boar.Development genetic markers for in boars will be beneficial to improvement porcine fertility.We investigated relationship between polymorphisms epidermal growth factor (EGF), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and prolactin receptor (PRLR) genes, traits boars.The genomic DNA 233 (157 Duroc 86 Landrace) from central testing station was subjected genotyping surveying gene frequency.The EGF, PTGS2 PRLR...
Differences between porcine stress syndrome (PSS) normal (NN) and carrier (Nn) Landrace dams were determined for adjusted number of pigs born alive, at 21 d, 21-d litter weight, proportion surviving to farrowing interval. Data analyzed from a total 841 females, 623 218 carriers having 2,231 869 records, respectively. Three susceptible (nn) females two herds dropped the analysis because their small contribution records. Frequency recessive PSS allele ranged .07 .28 in nine involved this...
