Elisabete
Background The recently constructed river buffalo whole-genome radiation hybrid panel (BBURH5000) has already been used to generate preliminary radiation hybrid (RH) maps for several chromosomes, and buffalo-bovine comparative chromosome maps have been constructed. Here, we present the...

Stothard, Paul, Arantes, Adriano S., Grant, Jason R.
Background Continued sequencing efforts coupled with advances in sequencing technology will lead to the completion of a vast number of small genomes. Whole-genome comparisons represent an important part of the analysis of any new genome sequence, as they can provide a better understanding of the...

Comparison of host genetic factors influencing pig response to infection with two North American isolates of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
Download2016-01-01
Hess, Andrew S., Islam, Zeenath, Hess, Melanie K., Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Doeschl-Wilson, Andrea, Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Background:Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most important swine diseases in the world and genetic selection of pigs for increased resistance to PRRS is an attractive method to improve the health status of the swine herd. This study compared phenotypic and...

Development of a porcine (Sus scofus) embryo-specific microarray: Annotation and validation
Download2012
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Pasternak, J. Alexander, Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Nieminen, Julie, Tsoi, Stephen, Rigault, Philippe, Sirard, Marc-André, Robert, Claude, Grant, Jason R.
Background The domestic pig is an important livestock species and there is strong interest in the factors that affect the development of viable embryos and offspring in this species. A limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in early embryonic development has inhibited our...

Exploring Phenotypes for Disease Resilience in Pigs Using Complete Blood Count Data From a Natural Disease Challenge Model
Download2020-01-01
Bai, Xuechun, Putz, Austin M., Wang, Zhiquan, Fortin, Frederic, Harding, John C. S., Dyck, Michael K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Field, Catherine J., Plastow, Graham S., PigGen Canada
Disease resilience is a valuable trait to help manage infectious diseases in livestock. It is anticipated that improved disease resilience will sustainably increase production efficiency, as resilient animals maintain their performance in the face of infection. The objective of this study was to...

Genetic and genomic basis of antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in gilts and sows
Download2016-01-01
Serao, Nick V. L., Kemp, Robert A., Mote, Benny E., Willson, Philip, Harding, John C. S., Bishop, Stephen C., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Background:Our recent research showed that antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syn-drome (PRRS), measured as sample-to-positive (S/P) ratio, is highly heritable and has a high genetic correlation with reproductive performance during a PRRS outbreak. Two major quantitative...

Genetic architecture of gene expression underlying variation in host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
Download2017-04-10
Kommadath, Arun, Bao, Hua, Choi, Igseo, Reecy, James M., Koltes, James E., Fritz-Waters, Elyn, Eisley, Chris J., Grant, Jason R., Rowland, Robert R. R., Tuggle, Christopher K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Lunney, Joan K., Guan, Le Luo, Stothard, Paul, Plastow, Graham S.
It has been shown that inter-individual variation in host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has a heritable component, yet little is known about the underlying genetic architecture of gene expression in response to PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection. Here, we integrated...

Genomic Analysis of IgG Antibody Response to Common Pathogens in Commercial Sows in Health-Challenged Herds
Download2020-10-23
Sanglard, Leticia P., PigGen Canada, Mote, Benny E., Willson, Philip, Harding, John C. S., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Serao, Nick V. L.
Losses due to infectious diseases are one of the main factors affecting productivity in the swine industry, motivating the investigation of disease resilience-related traits for genetic selection. However, these traits are not expected to be expressed in the nucleus herds, where selection is...

Genomic Prediction of Piglet Responses to Infection with One or Two Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Isolates
Download2018-01-01
Waide, Emily H., Tuggle, Christopher K., Serao, Nick V. I., Schroyen, Martine, Hess, Andrew, Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Plastow, Graham, Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Genomic prediction of the pig’s response to the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) would be a useful tool in the swine industry. This study investigated the accuracy of genomic prediction based on porcine SNP60 Beadchip data using training and validation datasets...

Putz, Austin M., Harding, John C. S., Dyck, Michael K., Fortin, F., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M., PigGen Canada
The objective of this study was to extract novel phenotypes related to disease resilience using daily feed intake data from growing pigs under a multifactorial natural disease challenge that was designed to mimic a commercial environment with high disease pressure to maximize expression of...
