Revealing the hidden social structure of pigs with AI assisted automated monitoring data and social network analysis

This study applies social network analysis to AI-assisted automated monitoring data to analyze social structures in pigs, revealing changes in group dynamics and individual traits over time.

Optimal experimental designs for estimating genetic and non-genetic effects underlying infectious disease transmission

The paper develops optimal experimental designs and a software tool to estimate SNP effects on infectious disease transmission traits like susceptibility, infectivity, and recoverability.

Gene editing in Farm Animals: A Step Change for Eliminating Epidemics on our Doorstep?

This paper models how gene editing and vaccination can reduce PRRS in pigs, finding that 10% gene-edited pigs in some herds with vaccination could eliminate the disease in 3-6 years.

A putative genomic map for resistance of Bos indicus cattle in Cameroon to bovine tuberculosis

This study investigates genetic variation in bTB resistance in Bos indicus cattle in Cameroon using genomic analysis and heritability studies.

Multiomic definition of generalizable endotypes in human acute pancreatitis

The paper identifies four distinct endotypes in acute pancreatitis using multiomic data and clinical metrics, showing diverse molecular and systemic responses.

Genetic differences in host infectivity affect disease spread and survival in epidemics

The paper demonstrates genetic variation in host infectivity, resistance, and tolerance in fish using an infection model and statistical methods, showing how these traits influence epidemic survival.

Novel insights into the genetic relationship between growth and disease resistance in Pacific salmon

This study examines genetic correlations between growth and disease resistance traits in Pacific salmon, finding favorable genetic links between early growth and survival during infection.
