All sheeps and sizes: a genetic investigation of mature body size across sheep breeds reveals a polygenic nature

C. J. Posbergh et al.

Summary: The study revealed that mature body size in sheep is a polygenic trait with fewer loci of large effect compared to other domestic species like dogs and horses, making genomic selection the most efficient option for maintaining or reducing mature body size in sheep.

Comparative genome-wide methylation analysis of longissimus dorsi muscles in Yorkshire and Wannanhua pigs

X-J Li et al.

Summary: The study identified differentially methylated genes associated with fatty acid metabolism, muscle development, and pork quality through DNA methylation analysis of two pig breeds. Integrative analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between DNA methylation levels and gene expression levels. Differential methylation of genes related to fat metabolism, lipid metabolism, and skeletal muscle development may contribute to the growth and phenotypic differences observed among different pig breeds.

Association of a polymorphism in exon 3 of the IGF1R gene with growth, body size, slaughter and meat quality traits in Colored Polish Merino sheep

E. Grochowska et al.

Summary: This study aimed to genotype the polymorphism in the IGF1R gene and analyze its association with various production traits in Colored Polish Merino sheep. The results showed that the IGF1R polymorphism had significant effects on growth, slaughter traits, and meat quality traits, suggesting its potential for marker-assisted selection in enhancing meat performance in these sheep.

Insulin signaling is an essential regulator of endometrial proliferation and implantation in mice

Nikola Sekulovski et al.

Summary: Insulin signaling is crucial for the development of preovulatory follicles and progression through the antral stage in mice. Knockout of both INSR and IGF1R results in infertility, defects in ovulation, luteinization, steroidogenesis, and early embryo development due to compromised uterine cell proliferation and decidualization. Additionally, insulin signaling acts downstream of ESR1 and PGR in regulating uterine proliferation and implantation.

Analysis of whole-genome re-sequencing data of ducks reveals a diverse demographic history and extensive gene flow between Southeast/South Asian and Chinese populations

Fan Jiang et al.

Summary: The study found that the domestication and demographic history of duck populations in China and Southeast/South Asia are closely related, with extensive gene flow between the populations. Strong signals of selection were detected in genes related to nervous system development and morphological traits, providing valuable insights into the genetic diversity and evolution of ducks in the region.
