Although major advances in genomics have initiated an exciting new era of research, a lack
of information regarding cis-regulatory elements has limited the genetic improvement or …

The functional annotation of livestock genomes is crucial for understanding the molecular
mechanisms that underpin complex traits of economic importance, adaptive evolution and …

Abstract The Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project has been
established to develop a public resource of genetic regulatory variants in livestock, which is …

To fully unlock the potential of pigs as both agricultural species for animal-based protein
food and biomedical models for human biology and disease, a comprehensive …

A comprehensive transcriptomic survey of pigs can provide a mechanistic understanding of
tissue specialization processes underlying economically valuable traits and accelerate their …

Gene regulatory elements are central drivers of phenotypic variation and thus of critical
importance towards understanding the genetics of complex traits. The Functional Annotation …

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 …

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

A comprehensive characterization of regulatory elements in the chicken genome across
tissues will have substantial impacts on both fundamental and applied research. Here, we …

Background This work describes the first genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional
landscape of the pig. A new porcine Affymetrix expression array was designed in order to …
