Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas-based adaptive
immunity against pathogens in bacteria has been adapted for genome editing and applied …

Although microRNA-206 (miR-206) is known to regulate proliferation and differentiation of
muscle fibroblasts, the role of miR-206 in early-stage somite development is still unknown …

Phenotypes of meat colour (Minolta L*, a*, and b*) measured from six different positions and
genotypes (Illumina PorcineSNP60 version 2 Genoty** Beadchip) were obtained from …

Actinotrichia are the first exoskeletal elements formed during zebrafish fin development.
These rigid fibrils serve as skeletal support for the fin fold and as substrates for …

The fish lateral line (LL) is a mechanosensory system closely related to the hearing system
of higher vertebrates, and it is composed of several neuromasts located on the surface of the …

Fish have to respond to a range of natural and man-made environmental stressors, which
can lead to molecular changes within their tissues. Many studies focused on environmental …

Meat and carcass quality traits are of increasing interest to the swine industry due to their
influence on customer purchasing and repurchasing decisions. However, meat quality traits …

The fin exoskeleton of the zebrafish is comprised of lepidotrichia (or fin rays) and
actinotrichia. In uncut fins, the fin rays span the entire length of the fin and the actinotrichia …

The emergence of high-throughput genomic data provides new opportunities for genetic
analysis. Especially, in terms of genetic improvement of animals, genomic tools provide new …

The exoskeleton of the fins comprises fin rays and actinotrichia; the latter are small
unmineralized fibrils found at the distal margin of fin rays. Actinotrichia play a role in the …
