South China Agricultural University, University of California, Davis, Macquarie University, and Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences opted for the CIPRES Gateway to conduct their research, emphasizing its pivotal role in facilitating their computational analyses. Their analyses found gene inversion increases the nonsynonymous substitution rates and provide an evolutionary hypothesis driving the diverse gene orders. #ResearchAnalysis #ComputationalAnalyses #GeneInversion #NonsynonymousSubstitution #EvolutionaryHypothesis #Bioinformatics #Genomics #Phylogenetics #ScientificResearch https://ow.ly/b4sK50RetCU

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 I am excited to share my latest review published in #Animal (August’s highlighted article ): 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗴𝘀: 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🐷🌿 This comprehensive review dives into the genetic parameters of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in pigs. The findings reveal that NUE has significant heritability, presenting promising opportunities for genetic improvement. Key insights: • The genetic correlation with production traits is low, ensuring selective breeding is a safe approach. • NUE has a highly polygenic genetic architecture, making it feasible yet challenging to breed pigs with higher NUE. • Enhanced efforts in high-throughput phenotyping and genome annotation are crucial for future progress. Learn more about the potential and necessity of breeding pigs for better nitrogen use efficiency. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ejudZhQe #Protein #Nitrogen #Pollution #Swine #Genetics

Senegalese sole is an emerging aquaculture species, however, domesticated strains face several challenges including the poor reproductive performance of the farmed males. In our recently published study, we evaluated epigenomic signatures (DNA methylation) that potentially explain the reproductive efficiency differences between wild and farmed Senegalese sole fish. #genomics #aquaculture #Senegalesesole #DNAmethylation #epigenomics #genetics https://lnkd.in/dQ9tVYPy

Soybean is one of the most important oil and protein sources for both human and animal food. As the global demand for nutrient-packed calories continues to grow, it is more important than ever that we identify and characterize the crop's yield-related genes. Due to the immense genetic variation that occurs randomly, identifying the genetic variation actually responsible for yield increases is often easier said than done. Here, researchers investigate the genome-wide signs of selection in soybean populations that underwent artificial selection for increased yield in U.S. breeding programs to help identify common selection patterns and distinguish them from random genetic drift. https://lnkd.in/eH2p2Cpi #plantscience #genomics #plantresearch #biotechnology #genetics #agriculture

The European Parliament recently voted to relax regulations for certain gene-edited plants, but also added amendments to ban patents for all CRISPR–Cas9-edited plants. This stance could deter investment and complicate the commercialization of gene-edited crops. It’s worth noticing that, according to Isaam (among others), CRISPR-Cas9 technology allows to modify plant genes and potentially develop disease resistance, and that a study published in the Journal of Experimental Botany investigated the role of downy mildew resistant 6 (DMR6), a negative regulator of plant immunity, in grapevine resistance to downy mildew. The interesting article by #NatureBiotechnology I’m linking below highlights the potential of gene editing to improve plant traits and the ongoing legislative process, emphasizing the balance needed between innovation, intellectual property and market dynamics. What is my colleagues’ (yours!) position on the matter? https://lnkd.in/d245wqUS

Donkeys and horses can interbreed. A mule results from a donkey stallion mating with a female horse. Hinnies result from a horse stallion mating with a female donkey. While donkeys are not our specialty at Equus Genetics, they are of the Equus genus. Here is an overview of omics as applied to donkey research:
