Article Synopsis
- Skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) are crucial for muscle growth and repair, and their gene expression is influenced by chromatin accessibility.
- Researchers conducted ATAC-seq and RNA-seq on ovine SMSCs to study their differentiation process, identifying over 17,000 regions of differential accessibility and nearly 3,800 differentially expressed genes.
- The study suggested that specific signaling pathways, like PI3K-Akt and TGF-β, regulate SMSCs differentiation, highlighting two candidate genes, FZD5 and MAP2K6, that could play significant roles in this process.

Article Synopsis
- Cashmere goats are highly valued for their premium fiber, but research on their genetic inbreeding using Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) is limited.
- This study analyzed the ROH patterns and inbreeding levels in 123 goats, discovering the Inner Mongolia cashmere goat had the lowest inbreeding coefficient (0.0263).
- The research identified 57,224 ROHs and 74 ROH islands with 50 genes linked to important traits like fiber quality, meat and milk production, fertility, disease resistance, and growth, aiding future breeding efforts.
