At present, the reports on the inheritance of plumage color of mule ducks at the molecular level are few, and the regulatory mechanism in white plumage rates of different mule ducks remains unclear. This study aimed to broaden the understanding of the white plumage rates in mule ducks to improve their production value. We used RNA sequencing to analyze and compare the mRNA expression profiles in hair follicle tissues from 10-week-old mule ducks with black and white plumages, thereby revealing the temporal gene expression patterns and pathways associated with plumage color regulation. In total, 1672 annotated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in black and white plumages from different databases between mule ducks with the 2 plumage colors. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment in hair follicle tissues indicated that the aforementioned DEGs were mainly involved in the melanin signaling pathway. Concurrently, we use weighted gene co-expression network analysis to detect core modules and hub genes associated with melanin biosynthesis in feathers. The green module exhibited the strongest correlation with the phenotypic traits, encompassing a total of 1049 genes. Subsequent Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis identified 11 genes as pivotal in the melanin biosynthetic pathway, including <i>EDRNB2</i>, <i>TYR</i>, <i>KIT</i>, <i>EDNRB</i>, and <i>MC1R</i>. The differential expression of eight selected DEGs was verified using quantitative reverse transcription–PCR, and the results were consistent with RNA-seq data.

The Fujian yellow (FJY) rabbit, as China's only indigenous breed with a yellow coat, serves as a valuable genetic resource. Fujian yellow rabbits have predominantly yellow fur, with a diluted white hue on the distal limbs and tail. However, the genetic mechanism underlying yellow coat color remains unclear. To address this, we conducted selection signature analysis to identify candidate genes and potential casual mutations underlying the yellow phenotype in rabbits. Utilizing whole-genome resequencing, a total of 22 486 177 high-quality SNPs were identified from 30 individuals belonging to three Chinese indigenous rabbit breeds featured with yellow or non-yellow phenotype. The results revealed that the <i>ASIP</i> gene on chromosome 4 and the <i>SNAI2</i> gene on chromosome 3 were under strong selection pressure, both of which play pivotal roles in determining coat color phenotypes. The <i>ASIP</i> gene is involved in melanogenesis across various livestock species, while the <i>SNAI2</i> gene is linked to hypopigmentation in the distal regions such as the limbs and tail. We further identified two SNP variants, g.23870943C&gt;T in the fourth intron of the <i>ASIP</i> gene, which is closely associated with the yellow phenotype, and g.73725380A&gt;G downstream of the <i>SNAI2</i> gene, probably contributing to the white shading in Fujian yellow rabbits’ limb and tail regions.

These cells have potential applications in human and animal health and livestock production. Somatic cell nuclear transfer or cloning is currently being used to produce genetically edited animals. A highly differentiated genome is the main obstacle to correcting epigenetic reprogramming by enucleated oocytes during cloning. Activation of pluripotency genes in the somatic genome is a promising strategy to contribute to more efficient epigenetic reprogramming, improving this technique. Recently, epigenome editing has emerged as a new generation of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats–clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 technology with the aim of modifying the cellular epigenome to turn genes on or off without modifying DNA. Here, we characterize the DNA methylation profile of the CpG island spanning the 5′ untranslated region to intron 1 of the bovine <i>octamer-binding transcription factor</i> (<i>Oct4</i>) gene in gametes, embryos, and fibroblasts. DNA methylation patterns were categorized into three levels: low (0%–20%), moderate (21%–50%), and high (51%–100%). Sperm and embryos showed a hypomethylation pattern, whereas oocytes exhibited a hypo- to moderate methylation pattern. Fetal and adult skin fibroblasts were hypomethylated and moderately methylated, respectively. These results are essential for future studies aimed at manipulating the expression of <i>Oct4</i>. Thus, epigenome editing can be used to turn on the <i>Oct4</i> in somatic cells to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. This strategy could potentially convert a fully differentiated cell into a cell with certain degree of pluripotency, facilitating nuclear reprogramming by the enucleated oocyte and improving cloning success rates.</p>","PeriodicalId":7905,"journal":{"name":"Animal genetics","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143424055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its inception as a society, ISAG has sought to provide a platform advocating for a just and equitable future in animal genetics. At the 39th ISAG conference, this commitment towards furthering inclusion in animal genetic science was progressed with two new offerings to attendees. The first session guided discussions on the political, ethical, legal, socioeconomic, and cultural dynamics that present barriers to participating in and benefitting from the genomic and genetic science fraternity. This session also included principles of social justice, specifically equity, diversity, and inclusion, towards enacting fairness in an unfair world, and focused on constraints related to sustainability in animal genetics. The second session used the important tradition of storytelling to transfer knowledge and wisdom from experienced scientists to upcoming researchers. Experienced scientists shared lived experiences on educational and career paths, challenges, and opportunities, providing networking and opportunities for further mentoring.
