Glucose challenge in Iberian and Landrace pigs
<p>Data set from an experiment where catheterised Iberian (obese breed) and Landrace (lean breed) pigs of the same weight were challenged intravenously with a glucose load. Blood samples were serially taken for 180min and analyzed for glucose, insulin, lactate, triglycerides, cholesterol, creatinine, albumin and urea. Insulin sensitivity indices were calculated and analysed.</p>

Conservation genomic analysis of the Croatian indigenous Black Slavonian and Turopolje pig breeds
<p>The majority of the nearly 400 existing local pig breeds are adapted to specific environments and human needs. The demand for large production quantities and the industrialized pig production have caused a rapid decline of many local pig breeds in recent decades. Black Slavonian pig and Turopolje pig, the latter highly threatened, are the two Croatian local indigenous breeds typically grown in extensive or semi-intensive systems. In order to guide a long-term breeding program to prevent the disappearance of these breeds, we analyzed their genetic diversity, inbreeding level and relationship with other local breeds across the world, as well as modern breeds and several wild populations, using high throughput genomic data obtained using the Illumina Infinium PorcineSNP60 v2 BeadChip. Multidimensional scaling analysis positioned Black Slavonian pigs close to the UK/North American breeds, while the Turopolje pig clustered within the Mediterranean breeds. Turopolje pig showed a very high inbreeding level (F<sub>ROH>4Mb</sub>=0.400 and F<sub>ROH>8Mb</sub>=0.332) that considerably exceeded the level of full-sib mating, while Black Slavonian pig showed much lower inbreeding (F<sub>ROH>4Mb</sub>=0.098 and F<sub>ROH>8Mb</sub>=0.074), indicating a planned mating strategy. In Croatian local breeds we identified several genome regions showing adaptive selection signals that were not present in commercial breeds. The results obtained in this study reflect the current genetic status and breeding management of the two Croatian indigenous local breeds. Given the small populations of both breeds, a controlled management activity has been implemented in Black Slavonian pigs since their commercial value has been recognized. In contrast, the extremely high inbreeding level observed in Turopolje pig argues for an urgent conservation plan with a long-term, diversity-oriented breeding program.</p>
Reproduction affects immune defenses in the guinea pig even under ad libitum food
<p>Reproduction is one of the most costly processes in the life of an animal. Life history theory assumes that when resources are limiting allocation to reproduction will reduce allocation to other essential processes thereby inducing costs of reproduction. The immune system is vital for survival. If reproduction reduces investment in immune function, this could increase the risk of disease, morbidity and mortality. We here test in the guinea pig, if even under <i>ad libitum</i> food conditions, pregnancy and lactation reduce the activity of the adaptive and innate immune system compared to the reaction of non-reproducing animals. In response to a challenge with keyhole limpet haemocyanin the antibody-mediated adaptive immunity during pregnancy and lactation was reduced. Pregnant and lactating females showed higher levels of bacterial killing activity, an integrated measure of innate immunity, than non-reproducing females. However, two major effectors of the innate immunity, the natural antibody and the complement of pregnant and lactating females showed lower levels than in non-reproducing females. Pregnant and lactating females did not differ significantly in the expressed levels of innate immunity. Our results indicate that changes in the immune response during reproduction are physiological adjustments to predictable allocation problems, because they happen even under <i>ad libitum</i> food availability.</p>
Datasets of the study: "Describing variability in pig genes involved in coronavirus infections: towards a One Health perspective in conservation of animal genetic resources"
<p><strong>Dataset description</strong></p> <p>Sequencing data (*.bam files) of four pig genes (<em>ACE2</em>, <em>ANPEP</em>, <em>DPP4</em> and <em>TMPRSS2</em>)<em> </em>that can serve as receptors or protease for priming the infection of coronaviruses.</p> <p>The datasets are related to 22 European pig breeds and wild boars (Alentejana, AL; Apulo-Calabrese, AC; Basque, BA; Bísara, BI; Black Slavonian, BS; Casertana, CA; Cinta Senese, CS; Gascon, GA; Krškopolje, KR; Lithuanian Indigenous Wattle, LIW; Lithuanian White Old Type, LWOT; Majorcan Black, MB; Mora Romagnola, MR; Moravka, MO; Nero Siciliano, NS; Sarda, SA; Schwäbisch-Hällisches Schwein, SHS; Swallow-Bellied Mangalitsa, SBMA; Turopolje, TU; Italian Duroc, IDU; Italian Large White, ILW; Italian Landrace, ILA; Wild Boar, WB). This work took advantage of a study design developed within the Horizon 2020 TREASURE project.</p> <p>Each folder contains *.bam files and the related indexes *.bai. The name of the investigated breed and gene is part of the file name (e.g. ILW.ACE2.bam identifies the sequencing data related to the ACE2 gene in the Italian Large White pig breed). Details of sequencing and the bioinformatic pipeline are below reported.</p> <p><strong>Sequencing data</strong></p> <p>A total of 22 DNA pools were constructed from the European pig breeds and one DNA pool was constructed from European wild boars, including in each pool 30 or 35 individual DNA samples pooled at equimolar concentration. For the 22 DNA pools, libraries were prepared and fed into an Illumina HiSeq X Ten sequencer for paired-end sequencing, obtaining 150 bp length reads. The wild boar DNA pool was sequenced from 250 bp fragment libraries, with 100 bp long paired-end reads, on the BGISeq 500 platform, following the provider’s procedures.</p> <p><strong>Data processing</strong></p> <p>Reads that were obtained from the sequenced libraries were cleaned by removing adapter sequences and filtering out sequences presenting more than 10% unknown bases (N) and/or containing low-quality bases (Q ≤ 5) over 50% of the total sequenced bases. Then, filtered high-quality reads were mapped on the latest version of the <em>Sus scrofa</em> reference genome (Sscrofa11.1; https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCF/000/003/025/GCF_000003025.6_Sscrofa11.1/GCF_000003025.6_Sscrofa11.1_genomic.fna.gz) using the BWA-MEM algorithm v.0.7.17 and the parameters for paired-end data. Picard v.2.1.1 (https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/) was used to remove duplicated reads. Whole sequence data are available in the EMBL-EBI European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) repository (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena), under the study accession PRJEB36830. </p> <p>Reads covering the four genes (ACE2: NC_010461.5:12094853-12156275; ANPEP: NC_010449.5:55346083-55378881; DPP4: NC_010457.5:68655849-68748818; TMPRSS2: NC_010455.5:204871561-204907561) were extracted with samtools v.1.7 and exported as aligned, sorted and indexed *.bam files. Gene length includes UTRs and flanking regions of 5 kbp upstream [flanking (5’-UTR)] and downstream [flanking (3’-UTR)].</p>
