1. Genomic growth curves of an outbred pig population
In the current post-genomic era, the genetic basis of pig growth can be understood by assessing SNP marker effects and genomic breeding values (GEBV) based on estimates of these growth curve parameters as phenotypes. Although various statistical methods, such as random regression (RR-BLUP) and Bayesian LASSO (BL), have been applied to genomic selection (GS),

2. Differentially expressed genes and miRNA identification in pig skeletal muscle / Identificação de genes diferencialmente expressos e miRNAs em músculo esquelético de suínos
The pig (Sus scrofa) is considered an important animal for meat production. This interest revolves around the potential for muscle growth, which usually is associated with certain characteristics during prenatal myogenesis. To study the genes responsible for these characteristics, expressed sequence tags (EST) provide direct information about the transcripto

3. Estudos de locos de características quantitativas, de expressão gênica e teste de paternidade em suínos / Studies of quantitative trait loci, genic expression and of paternity testing in pigs
The accomplishment of the present study had as objective: 1) to map Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 12, 14, 15 and X in a F2 pig population developed by mating two Brazilian Piau breed sires with 18 dams from a commercial line (Landrace × Large White × Pietrain); 2) investigate the level of expression of candidate genes influencing ec

4. Cloning, mapping and molecular characterization of porcine progesterone receptor membrane component 2 (PGRMC2) gene
Progesterone plays an important role in sow reproduction by stimulating classic genomic pathways via nuclear receptors and non-genomic pathways via membrane receptors such a progesterone receptor membrane component 2 (PGRMC2). In this work, we used radiation hybrid mapping to assign PGRMC2 to pig chromosome 8 and observed that this receptor has two transcrip

5. A preliminary survey of M. hyopneumoniae virulence factors based on comparative genomic analysis
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiological agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia (PEP), a major problem for the pig industry. The mechanisms of M. hyopneumoniae pathogenicity allow to predict the existence of several classes of virulence factors, whose study has been essentially restricted to the characterization of adhesion-related and major antigenic protei

6. Detecção de locos de características quantitativas nos cromossomos 9 e 10 de suínos / Detection of quantitative trait loci on pig chromosome 9 and 10
QTL are statistical associations of a genomic region and the phenotypic variation between segregating populations. The variation in a quantitative trait of interest can be related with the genotype of a molecular marker if this marker is close and linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL). To identify these associations, the mapping of chromosomes 9 and 10 was

8. CpG Islands of the Pig
We describe an analysis of the CpG islands (CGIs) of the pig. We have used both database survey and a porcine genomic library that is enriched for CGIs. Approximately half of 41 pig genomic database sequences had CGIs with an average G + C content of 65.3%, an average CpG observed/expected frequency of 0.85, and an average size of 978 bp. Of 27 CGI libra

9. Characterization of a porcine genomic clone encoding a major histocompatibility antigen: expression in mouse L cells.
A porcine genomic clone encoding a major histocompatibility, (MHC) antigen was isolated by direct screening of a swine genomic library with a heterologous human MHC cDNA probe. Mouse L cells transformed with DNA from the clone stably express swine MHC antigen. Pig alloantisera specifically lyse transformant but not control cell lines in a complement-mediated

10. Differential expression of porcine major histocompatibility DNA sequences introduced into mouse L cells.
The expression of a porcine genomic DNA segment containing a major histocompatibility gene and its chromatin structure in mouse L cells have been investigated. The transformed cells, which contain about two copies of the 17.8-kilobase pig DNA insert per haploid genome, stably and uniformly express major histocompatibility antigen on their surfaces. This expr

11. Coxiella burnetii Isolates Cause Genogroup-Specific Virulence in Mouse and Guinea Pig Models of Acute Q Fever▿ †
Q fever is a zoonotic disease of worldwide significance caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Humans with Q fever may experience an acute flu-like illness and pneumonia and/or chronic hepatitis or endocarditis. Various markers demonstrate significant phylogenetic separation between and clustering among isolates from acute and chro

12. K+ currents expressed from the guinea pig cardiac IsK protein are enhanced by activators of protein kinase C.
We have isolated cardiac cDNA and genomic clones encoding the guinea pig IsK protein. The deduced amino acid sequence is approximately 78% identical to the rat, mouse, and human variants of this channel, and the structure of the gene encoding the protein is also similar to that in other species. For example, the gene is present only once in the haploid genom
