The paper uses human-trained neural networks to predict chromatin annotations in non-human species, showing varying accuracy across species and genomic features.

The paper identifies 440 parent-of-origin expressed genes in pigs, revealing weak conservation of genomic imprinting across species and tissues.

This study identifies DNA methylation changes in sows related to parity and environmental enrichment, suggesting epigenetic adaptation and potential biomarkers for affective states.

The paper develops a methyl-seq tool to identify genomic imprinted loci by detecting parent-of-origin methylation in 165 candidate regions.

The paper identifies a genome-wide epistatic network underlying continuous color variation in rabbit body extremities, revealing gene interactions and new genes involved in pigmentation.
