Even though feather pecking (FP) in laying hens has been extensively studied, a good solution to prevent chickens from this behavior under commercial circumstances has not been found. Selection against FP behavior is possible, but for a more effective selection across different populations, it is ne...

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Boar taint is the unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat of uncastrated male pigs that is primarily caused by high levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue. Androstenone is a steroid and its levels are mainly genetically determined. Studies on androstenone metabol...

The objective of this study was to identify porcine genes which expression was affected by experimental infection with A. pleuropneumoniae within 24 hours after experimental challenge. Microarray experiments were conducted to reveal genes being significantly differentially expressed in infected vers...

ISA Brown Warren medium heavy layer hens were divergently selected for 25 generations on their primary immune response. Two selection chicken lines were established: chickens with a high natural antibody response (H) and chicken with a low natural antibody response (L). Besides a control line of ran...

This experiment contains the RNA-Seq samples only. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are an invaluable resource for clinical research. However, nucleic acids extracted from FFPE tissues are fragmented and chemically modified making them challenging to use in molecular studies. We anal...

Recents studies in mammalian genomes have uncovered the extent of copy number variation (CNV) that contributes to phenotypic diversity, including health and disease status. Here we report the first glimpse of CNVs in the pig genome covering part of the chromosomes 4, 7, 14 and 17 already sequenced a...

Acute physical exercise elicits changes in gene expression in skeletal muscles to promote metabolic changes and to repair exercise-induced muscle injuries. Here, we investigated the impact of a single bout of running exercise until exhaustion on global transcriptional profiles in porcine skeletal mu...

Background. Gene expression microarrays have been intensively applied to screen for genes involved in specific biological processes of interest such as diseases or responses to environmental stimuli. For mammalian species, cataloging of the global gene expression profiles in large tissue collections...

Transcriptional profiling of a S. suis 10flpS::spcR mutant strain in which the flpS gene has been disrupted by an insertion of a spectinomycin resistance cassette (spcR). We compared the expression profile of S. suis strain 10 with that of S. suis strain 10flpS::spcR during exponential and stationar...
