    • Abstract:
      The article discusses a study conducted by scientists Harry Dawson and Gloria Solano-Aguilar with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS)'s scientists, which assesses the effect of nutrition on immune responses using a pig model. Topics include the Porcine Translational Research Database that compares humans and rodents' genes and proteins, the release of the Sscrofa 10.2 pig genome sequence in 2012, and the tendency of the Ossabaw pig to develop obesity-related diseases.
