Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to improve the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for domestic pigs by comparing single-breed Berkshire pigs and admixed populations of Korean native and Landrace pigs.
- - Various analytical methods, including principal component analysis and genome-wide association studies, were used to assess population structure before making predictions, with accuracy varying based on the size of the reference population.
- - Results indicated that a larger reference population generally led to higher prediction accuracy for important traits, although some traits showed inconsistent accuracy depending on the population used as reference.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 69 dogs, using 170,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify genetic factors related to CHD.
- * Results indicated that specific SNPs on chromosome 4 may significantly influence the development of CHD in these dogs.
Article Synopsis
- The Sapsaree, a Korean dog breed, faced near extinction in the 1980s but has seen population recovery due to genetic conservation efforts; this study aimed to explore its genetic diversity and structure compared to seven similar dog breeds.
- Findings revealed that Sapsarees have higher genetic variance, with most sharing a distinct genetic pattern, although some variations are linked to recent restoration efforts; they showed connections to Tibetan breeds and minimal influence from European breeds.
- The study highlights the need for strategic approaches to uphold the Sapsaree’s genetic diversity and authenticity, as its effective population size has significantly decreased, threatening long-term viability.
Purpose: This study was undertaken to investigate in detail the xenograft mouse orthotopic lung cancer model induced by PC14PE6 adenocarcinoma cells.
Materials And Methods: Three cell doses (0.5x10(6); 1x10(6); 2x10(6)) of PC14PE6 cells were injected into the lungs of male BALB/c nude mice by the intrathoracic injection method.
