Abstract The Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project has been
established to develop a public resource of genetic regulatory variants in livestock, which is …

Heat stress is one of the major environmental stressors challenging the global poultry
industry. Identifying the genes responsible for heat tolerance is fundamentally important for …

Background Identifying molecular mechanisms responsible for the response to heat stress is
essential to increase production, reproduction, health, and welfare. This study aimed to …

Climate change is a major concern for the near future and for livestock breeding. Cattle
breeding, due to its greenhouse gas emissions, is one of the most implicated industries …

Here, we aimed to identify and characterize genomic regions that differ between Groningen
White Headed (GWH) breed and other cattle, and in particular to identify candidate genes …

Background The reliance on a solitary linear reference genome has imposed a significant
constraint on our comprehensive understanding of genetic variation in animals. This …

Background Investigating genomic regions associated with morphometric traits in camels is
valuable, because it allows a better understanding of adaptive and productive features to …
