This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroid
dehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD …

The Subolesin/Akirin constitutes a good model for the study of functional evolution because
these proteins have been conserved throughout the metazoan and play a role in the …

Because the demand for pork is increasing, it is crucial to devise efficient and green
methods to improve the quality and quantity of meat. This study investigated the …

In this study, to identify genomic signatures of divergent selection, we genotyped 10 cattle
breeds/populations (n= 275), representing eight Ethiopian cattle populations (n= 229) and …

Simple Summary Hanwoo is an indigenous cattle breed in Korea and popular for meat
production owing to its rapid growth and high-quality meat. Its yearling weight and carcass …

The Toll and IMD signaling pathways represent one of the first lines of innate immune
defense in invertebrates like Drosophila. However, for crustaceans like Caligus …

Marbling is a crucial characteristic in meat quality assessment. In the search for a genetic
basis of meat quality, a large number of gene analyses seeking to find loci for a marbling …

Focusing high marble deposition, Hanwoo feedlot system uses high-energy diet over the
prolonged fattening period. However, due to the individual genetic variation, around 40% of …

Akirin is a highly conserved nuclear factor among different species. It is closely related to
skeletal muscle development, innate immune response, and tumorigenesis in a variety of …

Akirin2 is a recently discovered gene related to immune responses that also plays an
important role in skeletal myogenesis. In this study, in order to scale up the production of …
