Monoallelically expressed genes that exert their phenotypic effect in a parent-of-origin
specific manner are considered to be subject to genomic imprinting, the most well …

Although infectious diseases impose a heavy economic burden on the cattle industry, the
etiology of many disorders that affect livestock is not fully elucidated, and effective …

Background Despite their regional economic importance and being increasingly reared
globally, the origins and evolution of the llama and alpaca remain poorly understood. Here …

Cattle are among the most important domesticated bovid species in the world, of which
Ethiopia possesses large populations adapted to different agro-ecologies and production …

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which has an increasing global prevalence,
contributes to the susceptibility to metabolic dysregulation and obesity in the offspring via …

Parent-of-origin effects (POE) such as genomic imprinting influence growth and body
composition in livestock, rodents, and humans. Here, we report the results of a genome scan …

Alternative splicing (AS) is an important mechanism for controlling gene expression, which
regulates multiple biological processes in higher organisms. Chinese indigenous Xiang pig …

The objective of this experiment was to identify genome-wide differential methylation of DNA
in young prenatally stressed (PNS) bull calves. Mature Brahman cows (n= 48) were …

Background Identifying the interactions between proteins and long non-coding RNAs
(lncRNAs) is of great importance to decipher the functional mechanisms of lncRNAs …

The phenomenon of genomic imprinting, whereby a subset of mammalian genes display
parent‐of‐origin‐specific monoallelic expression, is one of the most active areas of …
