This method is based on the idea that variability in these phenotypes reflects an animal's ability to adapt to external factors. By utilizing routinely collected time-series feed intake data in pigs, researchers can obtain a broad measure of resilience. This measure extends beyond specific conditions, capturing the impact of various unknown external factors that influence phenotype variations. Importantly, this method does not require additional phenotyping investments. Despite growing interest, the relationship between resilience indicators-calculated as deviations from longitudinally recorded target traits-and the mean of those traits remains largely unexplored. This gap raises the risk of inadvertently selecting for the mean rather than accurately capturing true resilience. Additionally, distinguishing between random phenotype fluctuations (white noise) and structural variations linked to resilience poses a challenge. With the aim of developing general resilience indicators applicable to commercial swine populations, we devised four resilience indicators utilizing daily feed consumption as the target trait. These include a canonical resilience indicator (BALnVar) and three novel ones (BAMaxArea, SPLnVar, and SPMaxArea), designed to minimize noise and ensure independence from daily feed consumption.

Its formation, associated with high GC content and repetitive sequences, is linked to genomic instability, potentially leading to large-scale deletions and contributing to phenotypic diversity and evolutionary adaptation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, we analyzed the density of Z-DNA-prone motifs of 154 avian genomes using the non-B DNA Motif Search Tool (nBMST). Our findings indicate a higher prevalence of Z-DNA motifs in promoter regions across all avian species compared to other genomic regions. A negative correlation was observed between Z-DNA density and developmental time in birds, suggesting that species with shorter developmental periods tend to have higher Z-DNA densities. This relationship implies that Z-DNA may influence the timing and regulation of development in avian species. Furthermore, Z-DNA density showed associations with traits such as body mass, egg mass, and genome size, highlighting the complex interactions between genome architecture and phenotypic characteristics. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that Z-DNA motifs are enriched in genes involved in nucleic acid binding, kinase activity, and translation regulation, suggesting a role in fine-tuning gene expression essential for cellular functions and responses to environmental changes. Additionally, the potential of Z-DNA to drive genomic instability and facilitate adaptive evolution underscores its importance in shaping phenotypic diversity.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study emphasizes the role of Z-DNA as a dynamic genomic element contributing to gene regulation, genomic stability, and phenotypic diversity in avian species.
