Subject:
animal genetics; autosomes; backfat; body length; chest; crossbreds; estrogens; fat thickness; genotype; industry; marker-assisted selection; morphogenesis; muscles; phenotype; swine
Abstract:
... Body traits are important economic factors in the pig industry. Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) have been widely applied using high‐density genotype data to detect QTL in pigs. The aim of the present study was to detect the genetic variants significantly associated with body traits in crossbred pigs using the Illumina Porcine SNP50 BeadChip and imputed whole‐genome sequence data. A set of ...

Subject:
DNA methylation; animal genetics; animal welfare; biomarkers; biosynthesis; bisulfites; boar taint; castration; cytosine; epigenetics; estrogens; fatty acids; gene expression; gene expression regulation; guanine; males; phenotype; prices; swine
Abstract:
... Boar taint (BT) is an offensive flavor observed in non‐castrated male pigs that reduces the carcass price. Surgical castration effectively avoids the taint but is associated with animal welfare concerns. The functional annotation of farm animal genomes for understanding the biology of complex traits can be used in the selection of breeding animals to achieve favorable phenotypic outcomes. The char ...

Subject:
gilts; loci; animal proteins; oviducts; hormone receptors; estrogens; genotype; genes; genetic techniques and protocols; reproductive traits; progeny testing; animal genetics
Abstract:
... A method allowing simultaneous genotyping of two loci: pre-implantation protein 3 (prei3) and estrogen receptor (ESR) was presented. In multiplex PCR amplification, two amplicons were simultaneously produced a 294bp fragment of prei3 gene and a 121bp fragment of ESR gene and were then subjected to ''one-tube'' restriction enzyme digestion with MspI and PvuII. A total of 92 sows from the 4th dam li ...

4. The embryonated egg: a practical target for genetic based advances to improve poultry production

Poultry science 2003 v.82 no.6 pp. 931-938
ISSN:

Subject:
chickens; ova; detection; allantoic fluid; embryo (animal); sex determination analysis; estrogens; embryology; genetic engineering; genetic techniques and protocols; cell differentiation; embryogenesis; eggs; animal genetics
Abstract:
... The embryonated avian egg is an attractive target for applying technology-based advances to improve poultry production. There are a number of reasons for this. First, the egg is immobile and can be easily accessed by high-speed automated equipment such as the commercial egg injection system used for vaccination of broilers worldwide. Second, due to successful breeding techniques, the embryonic per ...
