Expanded catalog of microbial genes and metagenome-assembled genomes from the pig gut microbiome
Congying Chen,Yunyan Zhou,Hao Fu,Xinwei Xiong,Shaoming Fang,Hui Jiang,Jinyuan Wu,Hui Yang,Jun Gao,Lusheng Huang +9 more
TL;DR: A landscape survey of the swine gut microbiome, spanning extensive sample sources by deep metagenomic sequencing resulting in an expanded gene catalog named pig integrated gene catalog (PIGC), containing 17,237,052 complete genes clustered at 90% protein identity from 787 gut metagenomes, of which 28% are unknown proteins as discussed by the authors.
Prevotella copri increases fat accumulation in pigs fed with formula diets
Congying Chen,Shaoming Fang,Hong Wei,Maozhang He,Hao Fu,Xinwei Xiong,Yunyan Zhou,Jingyuan Wu,Jun Gao,Hui Yang,Lusheng Huang +10 more
TL;DR: The results proposed that P. copri in the gut microbial communities of pigs fed with commercial formula diets activates host chronic inflammatory responses by the metabolites through the TLR4 and mTOR signaling pathways, and increases host fat deposition significantly.
ABO genotype alters the gut microbiota by regulating GalNAc levels in pigs
Hui Yang,Jinyuan Wu,Xiaochang Huang,Yunyan Zhou,Yifeng Zhang,Min Liu,Qinfeng Liu,Shanlin Ke,Maozhang He,Hao Fu,Shaoming Fang,Xinwei Xiong,Hui Jiang,Zhe Chen,Zhongzi Wu,Huanfa Gong,Xinkai Tong,Yizhong Huang,Junwu Ma,Jun Gao,Carole Charlier,Wouter Coppieters,Lev Shagam,Zhiyan Zhang,Huashui Ai,Bin Yang,Michel Georges,Congying Chen,Lusheng Huang +28 more
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of host genotype on the composition of the intestinal microbiota in a large mosaic pig population was studied and it was shown that, under conditions of exacerbated genetic diversity and environmental uniformity, microbiota composition and the abundance of specific taxa are heritable.
VRTN is Required for the Development of Thoracic Vertebrae in Mammals.
Yanyu Duan,Hui Zhang,Zhen Zhang,Jun Gao,Jie Yang,Zhongping Wu,Yin Fan,Yuyun Xing,Lin Li,Shijun Xiao,Yong Hou,Jun Ren,Lusheng Huang +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that VRTN is a novel DNA-binding transcription factor as it localizes exclusively in the nucleus, binds to DNA on a genome-wide scale and regulates the transcription of a set of genes that harbor VRTN binding motifs, which advance the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of thoracic vertebrate in mammals.
A Further Look at Porcine Chromosome 7 Reveals VRTN Variants Associated with Vertebral Number in Chinese and Western Pigs
Yin Fan,Yuyun Xing,Zhiyan Zhang,Huashui Ai,Zixuan Ouyang,Jing Ouyang,Ming Yang,Pinghua Li,Yijie Chen,Jun Gao,Lin Li,Lusheng Huang,Jun Ren +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that VRTN variants are significantly associated with the number of thoracic vertebrae in both Chinese and Western pigs, a finding of economical importance as it provides a robust breeding tool for the improvement of vertebral number and meat production in both China indigenous pigs and Western present-day commercial pigs.
