Gene expression in cells is determined by the epigenetic state of chromatin. Therefore, the
study of epigenetic changes is very important to understand the regulatory mechanism of …

Simple Summary The intramuscular fat (IMF) or marbling is an essential pork sensory quality
that influences the preference of the consumers and premiums for pork. IMF is the streak of …

Improvement in animal productivity has been achieved over the years through careful
breeding and selection programs. Today, variations in the genome are gaining increasing …

Intramuscular fat is considered a potential factor that is associated with meat quality in
animal production and insulin resistance in humans. N 6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) …

Background DNA methylation is an epigenetic regulatory form that plays an important role in
regulating the gene expression and the tissues development.. However, DNA methylation …

Epigenetics plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression in development, in response
to cellular stress or in disease states, in virtually all cell types. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are …

Stress experienced during early life may have lasting effects on the immune system, with
impacts on health and disease dependent on the nature and duration of the stressor. The …

Early embryonic loss and altered gene expression in in vitro produced blastocysts are
believed to be partly caused by aberrant DNA methylation. However, specific embryonic …

Background Efforts to improve animal health, and understand genetic bases for production,
may benefit from a comprehensive analysis of animal genomes and epigenomes. Although …

Background Although sperm DNA methylation has been studied in humans and other
species, its status in cattle is largely unknown. Results Using whole-genome bisulfite …
