A 1.6 Mb region on SSC2 is associated with antibody response to classical swine fever vaccination in a mixed pig population
(2022)Animal BiotechnologyClassical Swine Fever (CSF) is a contagious viral disease of pigs which is endemic in several parts of the world, including India. Prophylactic vaccination using live attenuated vaccine is the preferred method of control. However, there is significant inter-individual variation in the antibody response to vaccination. In this study, we measured the E2 antibody blocking percentage after 21 days of CSF vaccination in a mixed pig population ...Journal Article -
Genome-wide SNP data unravel the ancestry and signatures of divergent selection in Ghurrah pigs of India
(2021)Livestock ScienceThe evolution and domestication of pigs is a complex and ongoing process. Despite its rich biodiversity and proximity to the geographical origins of Sus scrofa domesticus, the place of Indian pigs in the global phylogeny is unclear. Using microarray-derived (porcine 60K SNP chip) genotypes of 11 Ghurrah pigs from North-Western India and a public dataset comprising 2113 pigs of 146 breeds, we determined the genomic ancestry of Ghurrah pigs ...Journal Article
