The paper identifies stage-specific regulatory variants in pig skeletal muscle by analyzing chromatin accessibility, molecular QTLs, and GWAS data across prenatal and postnatal stages.

The paper integrates tissue-specific epigenetic annotations into genomic predictions of gene expression in three pig breeds, improving eQTL mapping interpretability but facing challenges in cross-breed predictions.

The paper profiles RNA-seq from porcine intestinal organoids and tissues to assess their retention of regional identity and animal-specific molecular signatures.

This study shows that high-fiber maternal diets alter gene expression and chromatin accessibility in fetuses and piglets, improving metabolic health and immune tolerance.

The paper creates an enriched gene atlas for the GRCg7b chicken assembly, increasing the number of annotated lncRNAs and PCGs and providing functional annotations across 47 tissues.

The paper presents PigGTEx, a resource linking genetic variants to transcriptomic phenotypes in pigs, showing pigs' similarity to humans in gene regulation and complex traits.

The paper annotates transcriptomes and chromatin structures in liver and T cells from four livestock species using RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and Hi-C, revealing conserved regulatory elements and genome organization patterns.
