Sex Determination Using RNA-Sequencing Analyses in Early Prenatal Pig Development

Abstract: Sexual dimorphism is a relevant factor in animal science, since it can affect the gene expression of economically important traits. Eventually, the interest in the prenatal phase in a transcriptome study may not comprise the period of development in which male and female conceptuses are phenotypically divergent. Therefore, it would be interesting if sex differentiation could be performed using transcriptome data, with no need for extra techniques. In this study, the sex of pig conceptuses (embryos at 25 days-o… Show more

“…The procedures of RNA extraction, library preparation, and sequencing were performed as previously described in [ 14 ]. Briefly, 100 mg of whole macerated conceptuses were mixed to 1 mL Trizol ® reagent (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA, USA) and the Qiagen RNeasy ® Mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used for total RNA isolation, following the manufacturer’s instructions.…”

“…RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a high through-put technology that can be employed to detect quantitative gene expression and to analyze different expression pro les at the whole transcriptome level [6]. With the enhanced sensitivity and declining cost, RNA-seq has been widely used in livestock and poultry research [7][8]. Because the spleen is one of the dominating sites for priming of the primary immune responses, in the present study, transcriptome sequencing was performed to investigate the effect of β-glucan on gene expression in chicken spleen and to explore the potential signal transduction pathways.…”
