BACKGROUND Ethnic differences in lung function (LF) are recognised in adults and children. Most prediction equations for LF are derived from whites, so non-whites are at risk of erroneous assessment. It was hypothesised that differences in chest dimensions would explain differences in LF between Asian (Indian) and white schoolchildren. AIMS To quantify the impact of chest dimensions on LF, wh...

Body conformation is the most direct production index, which can fully reflect pig growth status and closely related to critical economic traits. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on body traits in population of 1518 Duroc × (Landrace Yorkshire) commercial pigs. These included length (BL), height (BH), chest circumference (CC), abdominal (AC), waist (WC). Both m...
