Genomic resources are increasingly being used to improve the production efficiency and
profitability of aquaculture. Crustaceans are a large group of invertebrates that …

Background This paper reviews the localization of published potential causative variants in
contemporary pig and cattle reference genomes, and the evidence for their causality. In spite …

Background Gene expression programs are intimately linked to the interplay of active cis
regulatory elements mediated by chromatin contacts and associated RNAs. Genome-wide …

The limited knowledge of genomic noncoding and regulatory regions has restricted our
ability to decipher the genetic mechanisms underlying complex traits in pigs. In this study …

Abstract Ruminant Genome Database (RGD; http://animal. nwsuaf. edu. cn/RGD) provides
visualization and analysis tools for ruminant comparative genomics and functional …

Background The genetic mechanisms that underlie phenotypic differentiation in breeding
animals have important implications in evolutionary biology and agriculture. However, the …

Meat quality is one of the most important economic traits in pig breeding and production, and
intramuscular fat (IMF) content is the major factor in improving meat quality. The IMF …

Mutant populations are crucial for functional genomics and discovering novel traits for crop
breeding. Sorghum, a drought and heat‐tolerant C4 species, requires a vast, large‐scale …

Background Insights into the genetic basis of complex traits and disease in both human and
livestock species have been achieved over the past decade through detection of genetic …

The development of epigenetic maps, such as the ENCODE project in humans, provides
resources for gene regulation studies and a reference for research of disease-related …
