Investigating the role of transposable elements in shaping abdominal fat and egg production phenotypic traits in geese.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
While transposable elements (TE) are critical drivers of genomic diversity, their influence on phenotypic traits in geese remain largely unexplored, primarily because most research has focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). In this study, we identified 157,044 TE absence polymorphisms (TAP) in the genome of 566 Sichuan White geese through whole-genome resequencing (with an average coverage depth of 12.44 ×) to evaluate their influence across different populations, and we extended our investigation to include a TE genome-wide association study (TE-GWAS) encompassing 48 traits, with a particular focus on abdominal fat weight. Notably, a TE within an intron of the CDCC171 gene was identified and significantly affects abdominal fat deposition, exhibiting minimal Linkage with SNPs within a 100 kb region. Additionally, co-expression analysis of ovarian transcriptome data from four geese populations revealed significant correlations between long terminal repeat (LTR) and terminal inverted repeat (TIR) elements and genes related to egg production. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential of TE as key drivers of phenotypic variation in geese, presenting new opportunities for targeted breeding strategies.
