Detection of multiple quantitative trait loci and their pleiotropic effects in outbred pig populations.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Simultaneous detection of multiple QTLs (quantitative trait loci) may allow more accurate estimation of genetic effects. We have analyzed outbred commercial pig populations with different single and multiple models to clarify their ... Read more...

Molecular cloning and characterization of the porcine prostaglandin transporter (SLCO2A1): evaluation of its role in F4 mediated neonatal diarrhoea.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Because prostaglandins are involved in many (patho)physiological processes, SLCO2A1 was already characterized in several species in an attempt to unravel specific processes/deficiencies. Here, we describe the molecular cloning and ... Read more...

Centrosome abnormalities during porcine oocyte aging.

29 Sep 2009 Centrosomes are critically important for maintaining meiotic spindle integrity in the meiosis II (MII) stage where oocytes are arrested in most mammalian species before fertilization takes place. In women of advanced ages or during in vitro ... Read more...
