Open AccessGenome of the webworm Hyphantria cunea unveils genetic adaptations supporting its rapid invasion and spread
The fall webworm Hyphantria cunea is an invasive and polyphagous defoliator pest that feeds on nearly any type of deciduous tree worldwide. The silk web of H. cunea aids its aggregating behavior, provides thermal...

Open AccessDetection of selection signatures in dairy and beef cattle using high-density genomic information
Artificial selection for economically important traits in cattle is expected to have left distinctive selection signatures on the genome. Access to high-density genotypes facilitates the accurate identificatio...

Open AccessGenome-wide analysis reveals population structure and selection in Chinese indigenous sheep breeds
Traditionally, Chinese indigenous sheep were classified geographically and morphologically into three groups: Mongolian, Kazakh and Tibetan. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the population structure and genome sel...

Open AccessComparison of single-trait and multiple-trait genomic prediction models
In this study, a single-trait genomic model (STGM) is compared with a multiple-trait genomic model (MTGM) for genomic prediction using conventional estimated breeding values (EBVs) calculated using a conventio...

Open AccessAnalysis of copy number variations in the sheep genome using 50K SNP BeadChip array
In recent years, genome-wide association studies have successfully uncovered single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with complex traits such as diseases and quantitative phenotypes. These variations...

Open AccessHistological and transcriptome-wide level characteristics of fetal myofiber hyperplasia during the second half of gestation in Texel and Ujumqin sheep
Whether myofibers increase with a pulsed-wave mode at particular developmental stages or whether they augment evenly across developmental stages in large mammals is unclear. Additionally, the molecular mechani...

Transgene expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein in cloned rabbits generated from in vitro-transfected adult fibroblasts
Live rabbits have previously been generated through nuclear transfer using adult cells as nuclear donors. We demonstrated in this study that transfected adult rabbit fibroblasts are also capable of supporting ...
