The paper identifies a 10 bp deletion in PRICKLE1 causing skeletal dysplasia in Cheviot sheep and develops a DNA test to eliminate the mutation.

The paper generates iPSC-derived macrophages from multiple Suidae species to model ASFV infection differences and identify species-specific immune responses.

This paper compares Genomic Informational Field Theory (GIFT) to GWAS in genotype-phenotype mapping, showing GIFT provides greater investigative power by overcoming limitations of category-based data grouping.

The paper profiles open chromatin in developing pig muscle to identify regulatory regions and provides a resource for genome regulation studies and variant filtering in pig breeding.

The paper identifies widespread transcription initiation at microsatellites across species and develops deep learning models to predict STR-associated transcription and its impact on disease variants.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Pacific oyster, improving contiguity and annotation compared to previous assemblies.

The paper uses TAMA to analyze long-read RNA sequencing data and identifies thousands of potential novel genes while highlighting challenges in RNA preparation and data processing.

The paper performs a global analysis of transcription start sites (TSS) in the ovine reference genome using CAGE sequencing, identifying novel TSS and validating them with bisulfite sequencing.

The paper presents improved pig reference genomes using long-read sequencing, enhancing continuity and accuracy for pig genetics and genomics research.

The paper identifies a recessive leg weakness syndrome in pigs caused by a premature stop mutation in the MSTN gene, showing balancing selection due to heterozygous advantage.

This study characterizes gene expression changes in the gastrointestinal tract of sheep from birth to adulthood, identifying developmental stage-specific differences, particularly in the rumen complex and immune-related genes.

This paper presents a high-resolution gene expression atlas for sheep, identifying transcriptional signatures and functional annotations across tissues and developmental stages.
