TL;DR: RNA-Seq revealed that selective nsSNVs were associated with meat quality traits that could be useful for successful marker-assisted selection in pigs and also represents a useful resource to enhance understanding of protein folding, substrate specificity, and the evolution of enzymes such as carbonyl reductase.

TL;DR: Enhanced histone acetylation levels of donor cells improved in vivo developmental competence and quality of inter-generic cloned embryos; however, fewer cells in blastocysts derived from igSCNT than blastocyst produced by insemination may reduce development potential following intergeneric cloning.

TL;DR: The results revealed that the binding modes of the potent inhibitors were engaged with important hydrogen bond, hydrophobic, and π-interactions, which will be helpful for understanding the relationship between binding mode and bioactivity and for designing better inhibitors from stilbene derivatives.

TL;DR: The identified quantitative trait loci that affect body weight, growth curve parameters and carcass body length in an F2 intercross between Landrace and Korean native pigs may play an important role in investigating the genetic structure underlying the phenotypic variation of growth in pigs.

TL;DR: A strong association is identified between a SNP marker on chromosome 16 and body weight at 71 days of age and this SNP marker could be useful in the selective breeding program after validating its effect on other populations.
