This study identifies a QTL on chromosome 4 associated with circadian feeding rhythmicity in pigs, linking it to genes involved in feeding behavior and energy homeostasis.

The paper identifies transcriptomic differences between pigs with high and low nitrogen use efficiency under protein-reduced diets, highlighting tissue-specific metabolic adaptations.

This paper estimates direct and maternal genetic effects on piglet birth weight and its variability, finding maternal effects are crucial while direct effects are negligible.

This study uses GWAS and RHM to identify genomic regions associated with protein efficiency and performance traits in pigs, highlighting candidate genes and noncoding RNAs.

This paper estimates the heritability of protein efficiency in pigs under a protein-restricted diet and its genetic correlations with performance and meat quality traits.
