Association study and expression analysis of porcine ESR1 as a candidate gene for boar fertility and sperm quality
Gunawan, Asep | Kaewmala, Kanokwan | Uddin, Muhammad Jasim | Cinar, Mehmet Ulas | Tesfaye, Dawit | Phatsara, Chirawath | Tholen, Ernst | Looft, Christian | Schellander, Karl (2011)Male fertility is impaired through the lack of ESR1 (Estrogen Receptor 1) but little is known about the ESR1 roles in boar spermatogenesis and fertility. Therefore, this research was aimed at investigating the association ... -
Identification of the Novel Candidate Genes and Variants in Boar Liver Tissues with Divergent Skatole Levels Using RNA Deep Sequencing
Gunawan, Asep | Sahadevan, Sudeep | Cinar, Mehmet Ulas | Neuhoff, Christiane | Große- Brinkhaus, Christine | Frieden, Luc | Tesfaye, Dawit | Tholen, Ernst | Looft, Christian | Wondim, Dessie Salilew | Holker, Michael | Schellander, Karl | Uddin, Muhammad Jasim (2013)Boar taint is the unpleasant odour of meat derived from non-castrated male pigs, caused by the accumulation of androstenone and skatole in fat. Skatole is a tryptophan metabolite produced by intestinal bacteria in gut and ... -
RNA Deep Sequencing Reveals Novel Candidate Genes and Polymorphisms in Boar Testis and Liver Tissues with Divergent Androstenone Levels
Gunawan, Asep | Sahadevan, Sudeep | Neuhoff, Christiane | Große-Brinkhaus, Christine | Gad, Ahmed | Frieden, Luc | Tesfaye, Dawit | Tholen, Ernst | Looft, Christian | Uddin, Muhammad Jasim | Schellander, Karl | Cinar, Mehmet Ulas (2013)Boar taint is an unpleasant smell and taste of pork meat derived from some entire male pigs. The main causes of boar taint are the two compounds androstenone (5a-androst-16-en-3-one) and skatole (3-methylindole). It is ...
