The variability of goat microRNA genes is strongly shaped by functional constraints

Emilio Mármol‐Sánchez, María Gracia Luigi‐Sierra, Philippe Bardou…·Marcel Amills

The study identifies miRNA polymorphisms in goats, finding low variation in seed regions due to purifying selection and higher variation in regulatory regions of isolated populations.

Impact of SNP calling quality on the detection of transmission ratio distortion in goats

María Gracia Luigi‐Sierra, Joaquim Casellas, Amparo M. Martínez…·Marcel Amills

The paper assesses how SNP calling quality affects TRD detection in goats, finding that low-quality SNPs can produce false TRD signals.

Variability in porcine microRNA genes and its association with mRNA expression and lipid phenotypes

Emilio Mármol‐Sánchez, María Gracia Luigi‐Sierra, Anna Castelló…·Marcel Amills

The paper identifies miRNA SNPs in pigs and associates them with lipid traits and gene expression, finding a significant SNP in the apical loop of ssc-miR-326 linked to PPP1CC mRNA levels.
