Resistance to coronavirus infection in amino peptidase N-deficient pigs
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)The alphacoronaviruses, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) are sources of high morbidity and mortality in neonatal pigs, a consequence of dehydration caused by the infection ... -
Effects of dry or wet conditions during the preweaning phase on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass composition of beef cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019)Our objective was to determine the effects of dry and wet conditions during the preweaning on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of beef cattle. Steers (n = 7,432) and heifers (n = 2,361) finished ... -
QTL-mapping and genomic prediction for bovine respiratory disease in U.S. Holsteins using sequence imputation and feature selection
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)Background: National genetic evaluations for disease resistance do not exist, precluding the genetic improvement of cattle for these traits. We imputed BovineHD genotypes to whole genome sequence for 2703 Holsteins that ... -
Improvement of in vitro and early in utero porcine clone development after somatic donor cells are cultured under hypoxia
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019)Genetically engineered pigs serve as excellent biomedical and agricultural models. To date, the most reliable way to generate genetically engineered pigs is via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), however, the efficiency ... -
Concurrent and long-term associations between the endometrial microbiota and endometrial transcriptome in postpartum dairy cows
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)Background: Fertility in dairy cows depends on ovarian cyclicity and on uterine involution. Ovarian cyclicity and uterine involution are delayed when there is uterine dysbiosis (overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria). Fertility ... -
Water consumption data : C57BL/10J & C57BR/CDJ
(2018)This data is average water consumption on a per week basis. Strains represented include the C57BL/10J, C57BR/CDJ, F1s, F2s, and backcrosses. Consumption was collected daily using custom-built, serrated tube water bottles. ... -
Autoimmunization of Ewes Against Pregnancy-associated Glycoproteins Does Not Interfere with the Establishment and Maintenance of Pregnancy
(Animal, 2009)Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are a large grouping of placental proteins that belong to the aspartic peptidase gene family. Although useful to detect pregnancy in ruminant species, the function of these molecules ... -
Nutritional Skewing of Conceptus Sex in Sheep: Effects of a Maternal Diet Enriched in Rumen-Protected Polyunsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA)
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008)Evolutionary theory suggests that in polygynous mammalian species females in better body condition should produce more sons than daughters. Few controlled studies have however tested this hypothesis and controversy exists ... -
Combinatorial Roles of Protein Kinase A, Ets2 and CBP/p300 in the Transcriptional Control of Interferon-tau Expression in a Trophoblast Cell Line
(Molecular Endocrinology, 2008-02)In ruminants, conceptus interferon-tau (IFNT) production is necessary for maintenance of pregnancy. We examined the role of protein kinase A (PKA) in regulating IFNT expression through the activation of Ets2 in JAr ... -
Proteasomal Interference Prevents Zona Pellucida Penetration and Fertilization in Mammals
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, Inc., 2004-07)The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been implicated in the penetration of ascidian vitelline envelope by the fertilizing spermatozoon (Sawada et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2002; 99:1223-1228). The present study provides ...
