DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2018.08.013
Abstract: In fish used for food production and scientific research, fast growth can be achieved via selective breeding or induced instantaneously via growth hormone (GH) transgenesis (GHT). The proteomic basis for these distinct routes towards a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsac147
Abstract: Selective breeding is a classic technique that enables an experimenter to modify a heritable target trait as desired. Direct selective breeding for extreme sleep and circadian phenotypes in flies successfully alters these behaviors, and sleep… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.596521
Abstract: Accurately measuring the phenotype at the individual level is critical to the success of selective breeding programs. Feed efficiency is a key sustainability trait and is typically approached through feed conversion ratio (FCR). This requires… read more here.
