Characterization of whole blood transcriptome and early-life fecal microbiota in high and low responder pigs before, and after vaccination for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Sus scrofa domesticus breed:((Large White x Landrace) x Duroc)

In this study we investigated variation in whole blood transcriptome prior to and following vaccination in pigs, using Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccine as a model, and RNA-sequencing technology. In addition, we looked at how the early-life microbiota composition before vaccination may relate to vaccine response, a topic that is mostly unexplored in farm animals
