Identification of transcriptome markers in blue catfish cryopreserved sperm to predict male reproductive performance for catfish aquaculture
(2025-05-08)
In hybrid catfish aquaculture, hatch success varies significantly using cryopreserved sperm from different males, but current phenotypic assays only explain a fraction of observed variations. We profiled the sperm transcriptome ...
High-fidelity long-read assembly of the feline gut microbiome
(2024-03-29)
Long-read reference contig assembly of domestic cat rectum/fecal microbiome. DNA was extracted from fecal samples collected from client-owned domestic cats using Qiagen Allprep PowerFecal DNA/RNA kit. PacBio sequencing ...
Genomic responses to selection for tame/aggressive behaviors in the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes)
(2020-07-24)
Animal domestication efforts have led to a shared spectrum of striking behavioral and morphological changes. To recapitulate this process, silver foxes have been selectively bred for tame and aggressive behaviors for more ...
Inter-evaluator bias and applicability of feline body condition score from visual assessment
(2024-11-04)
Background: Body Condition Score (BCS) is an effective tool for assessing body weight and overall body composition.
Objectives: To determine whether BCS can be accurately assessed solely from photographs of cats, and to ...
From heterosis to outbreeding depression: genotype-by-environment interaction shifts hybrid fitness in opposite directions
(2024-05-19)
In F1 hybrids, phenotypic values are expected to be near the parental means under additive effects or close to one parent under dominance. However, F1 traits can fall outside the parental range, and outbreeding depression ...
Data for: Genome assembly, annotation, and SNP discovery of the blackstripe livebearer Poeciliopsis prolifica shed light on fish placenta evolution
(2023-03-27)
Poeciliidae is a family of live-bearing fish in which some species fully provision eggs before fertilization (lecithotrophy) and some continue to provision embryos after fertilization (matrotrophy). The viviparous matrotrophic ...
Host shifting and novel genome features of the microbial pathogen Nosema
(2024-02-14)
Nosema is a diverse fungal genus of unicellular, obligate symbionts of insects and other arthropods. We conducted a comparative genomic analysis of N. muscidifuracis, a Nosema species infecting parasitoid wasp genus ...
