Advancing “-Omics”

This paper reviews the major approaches used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) and current knowledge about QTL affecting reproductive trait loci in pigs. Three different approaches, i.e. functional candidate gene analyses, genome-wide linkage studies (GWLS) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been used to map QTL in pigs. The interest and limits of each of the three approaches are discussed. Candidate genes and QTL have been reviewed based on PigQTLdb at <...

Transcriptome analyses of porcine endometrium during the pre-implantation phase

Bauersachs Stefan Bauersachs

The porcine conceptus undergoes rapid differentiation and expansion of its trophoblastic membranes between days 11 and 12 of gestation. The production of estrogen, the porcine embryonic pregnancy recognition signal, by the conceptus increases with trophoblast elongation. A complex interplay of estrogen signaling and prostaglandin (PG) metabolism in the endometrium finally results in prevention of luteolysis. Conceptus attachment to the uterine surface epithelium starts a...
