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

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

The ChickenGTEx project provides a multi-tissue reference of regulatory variants in chicken, analyzing their functional impacts and utility in genetics, genomics, and evolutionary studies.

This study constructs a chicken pan-genome from 20 de novo assemblies, identifying novel genes predominantly in sub-telomeric regions that are undetectable by DNA sequencing but present in transcriptomes.

This study shows that sustained hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling is essential for FGF1-induced diabetes remission in rodents.
