Introduction The Ovar-DRB1 gene, a crucial element of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class II region, initiates adaptive immunity by presenting antigens to T-cells. Genetic diversity in sheep, particularly in MHC Class II genes like Ovar...

Whole-genome resource sequences of 57 indigenous Ethiopian goats (2024)
Journal Article
Belay, S., Belay, G., Nigussie, H., Jian-Lin, H., Tijjani, A., Ahbara, A. M., …Mwacharo, J. M. (2024). Whole-genome resource sequences of 57 indigenous Ethiopian goats. Scientific Data, 11(1), Article 139. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-02973-2

Domestic goats are distributed worldwide, with approximately 35% of the one billion world goat population occurring in Africa. Ethiopia has 52.5 million goats, ~99.9% of which are considered indigenous landraces deriving from animals introduced to th...

Genomic analysis of Nigerian indigenous chickens reveals their genetic diversity and adaptation to heat-stress (2024)
Journal Article
Rachman, M. P., Bamidele, O., Dessie, T., Smith, J., Hanotte, O., & Gheyas, A. A. (2024). Genomic analysis of Nigerian indigenous chickens reveals their genetic diversity and adaptation to heat-stress. Scientific Reports, 14(1), Article 2209. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-52569-4

Indigenous poultry breeds from Africa can survive in harsh tropical environments (such as long arid seasons, excessive rain and humidity, and extreme heat) and are resilient to disease challenges, but they are not productive compared to their commerc...

MicroRNA expression profile of chicken jejunum in different time points Eimeria maxima infection (2024)
Journal Article
Jebessa, E., Bello, S. F., Guo, L., Tuli, M. D., Hanotte, O., & Nie, Q. (2024). MicroRNA expression profile of chicken jejunum in different time points Eimeria maxima infection. Frontiers in Immunology, 14, Article 1331532. https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2023.1331532

Coccidiosis stands as a protozoan disease of notable economic impact, characterized by an intracellular parasite that exerts substantial influence over poultry production. This invasion disrupts the integrity of the enteric mucosa, leading to the eme... Read More about MicroRNA expression profile of chicken jejunum in different time points Eimeria maxima infection.
