Genetic determinism and inheritance of differential DNA methylation profiles across three successive generations in quail.

This study examines how DNA methylation profiles change across three generations in quails exposed to genistein, finding that while methylation differences accumulate, genetic factors largely explain these changes.

Germline genomic and methylomic dynamics following three generations of early-life metabolic challenges

This study examines multigenerational effects of early-life metabolic challenges on germline genome and methylation in mice, finding genomic instability and methylation changes linked to transposable elements.

Mapping the Landscape of Allele-Specific Expression In Porcine Genomes

This study profiles allele-specific expression across 42 tissues and 34 pig breeds using an open-source pipeline, revealing widespread and tissue-specific allelic imbalance.

The enhanced multi-tissue atlas of regulatory effects in cattle

The paper presents CattleGTEx, a resource characterizing regulatory effects in cattle, resolving GWAS signals and providing insights into adaptive evolution and selection.

Sex-specific Genetic Regulatory Effects in Chickens

The paper identifies sex-specific genetic regulatory effects in chickens using whole-genome sequencing and transcriptomes, revealing sex-dependent gene regulation and structural variants.

A compendium of genetic regulatory effects across pig 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.

Micrococcal nuclease sequencing of porcine sperm suggests a nucleosomal involvement on semen quality and early embryo development

The paper uses micrococcal nuclease sequencing on porcine sperm to identify nucleosomal fractions and links them to semen quality and early embryo development.

Characterisation of sperm piRNAs and their correlation with semen quality traits in swine.

The paper identifies piRNAs in porcine sperm and finds correlations between their abundances and semen quality traits, with many located near transposable elements and fertility-related genes.

A RNA-seq characterization of the porcine sperm microbiome.

The paper characterizes the porcine sperm microbiome using RNA-seq, identifying bacterial phyla, potential pathogens, and antibiotic resistance genes associated with semen quality traits.

Identification of circular RNAs in porcine spermatozoa and their relation to sperm motility

This study identifies circRNAs in porcine sperm and links some to sperm motility, suggesting potential as biomarkers for male fertility.

A thorough RNA-seq characterization of the porcine sperm transcriptome and its seasonal changes

This study characterizes the porcine sperm transcriptome through RNA-seq, identifying seasonal changes in gene and microRNA expression related to oxidative stress and DNA damage.

An ABCA4 loss-of-function mutation causes a canine form of Stargardt disease

The paper identifies a loss-of-function mutation in the ABCA4 gene in Labrador retrievers with retinal degeneration, suggesting dogs as a model for human Stargardt disease.
