Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms within candidate genes and fertility in Landrace and Duroc pigs
Tremoen, Nina Hårdnes; van Son, Maren; Andersen-Ranberg, Ina; Grindflek, Eli; Myromslien, Frøydis Deinboll; Gaustad, Ann Helen; Våge, Dag Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Finding effective predictors of traits related to boar fertility is essential for increasing the efficiency of artificial insemi‑nation systems in pig breeding. The objective of this study was to find associations between ... -
Relationship between sperm motility characteristics and ATP concentrations, and association with fertility in two different pig breeds
Tremoen, Nina Hårdnes; Gaustad, Ann Helen; Andersen-Ranberg, Ina; van Son, Maren; Zeremichael, Teklu Tewoldebrhan; Frydenlund, Kirsten; Grindflek, Eli; Våge, Dag Inge; Myromslien, Frøydis Deinboll (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
RNA sequencing reveals candidate genes and polymorphisms related to sperm DNA integrity in testis tissue from boars
van Son, Maren; Tremoen, Nina Hårdnes; Gaustad, Ann Helen; Myromslien, Frøydis Deinboll; Våge, Dag Inge; Stenseth, Else-Berit; Zeremichael, Teklu Tewolderbrhan; Grindflek, Eli (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Sperm DNA is protected against fragmentation by a high degree of chromatin packaging. It has been demonstrated that proper chromatin packaging is important for boar fertility outcome. However, little is known ... -
Sperm DNA integrity in Landrace and Duroc boar semen and its relationship to litter size
Myromslien, Frøydis Deinboll; Tremoen, Nina Hårdnes; Andersen-Ranberg, Ina; Fransplass, Ragnhild; Stenseth, Else-Berit; Zeremichael, Teklu Tewoldebrhan; van Son, Maren; Grindflekk, Eli; Gaustad, Ann Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Transcriptome profiling of porcine testistissue reveals genes related to spermhyperactive motility
van Son, Maren; Tremoen, Nina Hårdnes; Gaustad, Ann Helen; Våge, Dag Inge; Zeremichael, Teklu Tewoldebrhan; Myromslien, Frøydis Deinboll; Grindflek, Eli (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sperm hyperactive motility has previously been shown to influence litter size in pigs, but little is known about the underlying biological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to use RNA sequencing to investigate gene ...
