Strategies to reduce reliance on soya bean meal and palm kernel meal in livestock nutrition by J.M. Wilkinson, R.H. Young

“…Palm kernel meal has been used for many years in compound feeds for ruminant livestock and as a supplement to grazed pasture in periods of drought. A range of alternative sources of protein is available to replace soya bean and palm kernel meals, e.g. protected rapeseed meal can replace soya bean meal in diets for productive dairy cows, but constraints to widespread adoption include insufficient supply, anti-nutritional factors which require feeds to be processed or supplemented with enzymes, and imbalances in essential amino acids. …”

PLncWX: A Machine-Learning Algorithm for Plant lncRNA Identification Based on WOA-XGBoost by Fei Guo, Zhixiang Yin, Kai Zhou, Jiasi Li

“…Studies have shown that lncRNAs can regulate gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and posttranscriptional levels, which are not only closely related to the occurrence, development, and prevention of human diseases, but also can regulate plant flowering and participate in plant abiotic stress responses such as drought and salt. Therefore, how to accurately and efficiently identify lncRNAs is still an essential job of relevant researches. …”
