Chinese indigenous pigs are favored for their rich flavor, which is generated through complex reactions involving lipid-oxidation-related flavor precursors. In this research, we characterized the aroma compounds and fatty acids of representative Chinese pig breeds by gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) and GC-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) with multivariate analysis. A total of 79 volatile compounds were identified, among which 15 compounds were selected as odorants in pork. According to multivariate statistical analysis, some odorants, including hexanal, 1-octen-3-ol, 2,3-octanedione, (E, E)-2,4-decadienal and dodecanal could be discriminative compounds explaining breed-originated differences in flavor profiles. As confirmed by partial least squares regression (PLS-R), some fatty acids, including C18:1n9c, C22:6n3 and C18:3n3, were major precursors for the formation of rich flavor in indigenous pig breeds. These results revealed that fatty acids and volatile compounds were breed-dependent, and the differences in flavor were related to the variance in the fatty acid content.

Copper is an essential trace element in biological systems, playing a key role in various physiological functions, including redox reactions and energy metabolism. However, an imbalance in copper homeostasis can induce oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, ultimately leading to significant cytotoxicity and cell death. According to recent research, copper can bind to lipoylation sites on proteins involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, causing aggregation of lipoylated proteins, the loss of Fe-S cluster proteins, proteotoxic stress, and ultimately, cell death.

Innate immunity serves as a crucial defense mechanism against invading pathogens, yet its negative regulatory network remains under explored. In this study, we identify BEN domain-containing protein 6 (BEND6) as a novel negative regulator of innate immunity through a genome-scale CRISPR knockout screen for host factors essential for viral replication. We show that BEND6 exhibits characteristics of an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG), with its mRNA and protein levels upregulated by RNA virus-induced IFN-β.

Metabolites and metabolism-related gene expression profiles in skeletal muscle change dramatically under obesity, aging and metabolic disease. Since obese and lean pigs are ideal models for metabolic research. Here, we compared metabolome and transcriptome of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle between Taoyuan black (TB, obese) and Duroc (lean) pigs at different ages.

This research aimed to characterize the mitochondrial genome of the Ghoongroo (GH) pig, a notable breed in India, along with its crossbred varieties, to elucidate their matrilineal components, evolutionary history, and implications for conservation. Seven pigs (5 GH, 2 crossbred, namely Rani and Asha) were sequenced for complete mitochondrial genome, while 24 pigs (11 GH, 6 Rani, and 7 Asha) were sequenced for the complete D-loop of the mitochondrial genome. The genome size of these pigs was determined to be 16,690 bp.
