Trait correlated expression combined with eQTL and ASE analyses identified novel candidate genes affecting intramuscular fat.

Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a determining factor for meat taste. The Luchuan pig is a fat-type local breed in southern China that is famous for its desirable meat quality due to high IMF, however, the crossbred offspring of Luchuan sows and Duroc boars displayed within-population variation on meat quality, and the reason remains unknown.

Results: In the present study, we identified 212 IMF-correlated genes (FDR ≤ 0.

Observer-based H control for cyber-physical systems encountering DoS jamming attacks: An attack-tolerant approach.

In this paper, considering two typical attack strategies of a DoS jammer, a new kind of H control problem is studied for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) with different transmission mechanism encountering DoS jamming attacks. By defining a concept of working subcycle, the concrete attack strategies of a DoS jammer can be generated by choosing different reasonable value combinations in a unified framework according to the DoS jammer's energy efficiency and stealthiness. Then, for two different transmission mechanisms, namely the time-triggered mechanism (TTM) and the event-triggered mechanism (ETM), in which CPSs can employ in its wireless channels, two DoS jammers employ different attack strategies and launch SINR-based DoS jamming attacks to decrease the quality of wireless communication.
