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 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...

Genomic sequencing identifies novel Bacillus thuringiensis Vip1/Vip2 binary and Cry8 toxins that have high toxicity to Scarabaeoidea larvae
The Bacillus thuringiensis strain HBF-18 (CGMCC 2070), which has previously been shown to encode the cry8Ga toxin gene, is active against both Holotrichia oblita and Holotrichia parallela. Recombinant Cry8Ga howe...

Screening of cry-type promoters with strong activity and application in Cry protein encapsulation in a sigK mutant
To optimize the expression of cry genes in a Bacillus thuringiensis sigK mutant failing in crystal releasing, the transcriptional activity of the cry promoters cry1A, cry3A, cry4A, and cry8E was compared using la...

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...
