Abstract Background This paper describes a method, called AlphaSeqOpt, for the allocation of sequencing resources in livestock populations with existing phased genomic data to maximise the ability to phase and impute sequenced haplotypes into the whole population.Methods We present two algorithms.The first selects focal individuals that collectivel
Various kinds of transmembrane and secreted proteins play pivotal roles in development through cell-cell communication.We previously reported that Obif (Osteoblast induction factor, Tmem119), encoding a single transmembrane protein, is expressed in differentiating osteoblasts, and that Obif-/- Kitchen Island mice exhibit significantly reduced bone
Abstract Background Testicular macrophages (TM) have long been recognized for their role in immune response within the testicular environment.However, their involvement in steroid hormone synthesis, particularly testosterone, has not been fully elucidated.This study aims to explore the capability of TM to synthesize and secrete testosterone de novo
