Genetic variant of the sheep gene and its associations with litter size.

The economic efficiency of sheep breeding, aiming to enhance productivity, is a focal point for improvement of sheep breeding. Recent studies highlight the involvement of the 8 ( gene in female reproduction. Our group's recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) emphasizes the potential impact of the gene on prolificacy traits in Australian White sheep (AUW).

Exploration of the Polymorphism Distribution of Bovine Gene in Worldwide Breeds and Its Associations with Ovarian Traits.

The high-mobility group AT-hook 2() gene has been widely studied in the context of cancer and animal growth. However, recently, several studies have uncovered its critical role in cell proliferation. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) further suggests that the gene is a candidate gene in fertility, indicating its connection not only to growth traits but also to reproduction, specifically ovarian traits.

Bovine FRAS1: mRNA Expression Profile, Genetic Variations, and Significant Correlations with Ovarian Morphological Traits, Mature Follicle, and Corpus Luteum.

The amelioration of bovine fertility caused by a multi-factorial problem has always been a hot topic, among which the detection of available target genes is the most crucial. It was hypothesized that the Fraser extracellular matrix complex subunit 1 (1) gene detected by GWAS is involved in physiological activities such as ovarian development. Herein, unilateral ovaries from 2111 cows were used to examine the mRNA expression profile and polymorphisms of bovine and their associations with fertility-related characteristics.

Exploring the Sheep Gene Variants and Their Associations with Litter Size.

The economic efficiency of sheep breeding can be improved by enhancing sheep productivity. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) unveiled the potential impact of the gene on prolificacy traits in Australian White sheep (AUW)). Herein, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from 26 different sheep breeds worldwide ( = 1507), including diverse meat, wool, milk, or dual-purpose sheep breed types from China, Europe, and Africa, were used.

Flower-like WSe used as bio-matrix in ultrasensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor for human immunoglobulin G determination.

The abnormal concentrations of human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) refers to many kinds of diseases. Analytical methods with the characteristics of rapid response, easy operation and high sensitivity should be designed to accurately determinate the hIgG levels in human serum. In this work, a label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on WSe/rGO was developed to sensitively detect human immunoglobulin G.

A specific identification platform based on biscuit-like bismuth nanosheets for label-free electrochemical immunosensor.

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on the biscuit-like bismuth nanosheets (BiNSs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes-chitosan-gold nanoparticles (MWCNTs-Chit-AuNPs) was constructed for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (hIgG). The biscuit-like BiNSs prepared by one-step aqueous phase reduction method had a large electroactive surface area, 1.7 times that of bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), which could load more antibodies and were used as a larger platform for the specific identification of antigens and antibodies.
