• Development and bin mapping of a Rosaceae Conserved Ortholog Set (COS) of markers 

  Cabrera, Antonio; Kozik, Alex; Howad, Werner; Arús, Pere; Iezzoni, Amy F; van der Knaap, Esther (BMC Genomics, 2009-11-29) Genòmica i Biotecnologia

  Background: Detailed comparative genome analyses within the economically important Rosaceae family have not been conducted. This is largely due to the lack of conserved gene-based molecular markers ...

• A bi-dimensional genome scan for prolificacy traits in pigs shows the existence of multiple epistatic QTL 

  Noguera, José Luis; Rodríguez, Carmen; Varona Aguado, Luis; Tomàs, Anna; Muñoz, Gloria; Ramírez, Oscar; Barragán, Carmen; Arqué, Meritxell; Bidanel, Jean P; Amills, Marcel; Ovilo, Cristina; Sánchez, Armand (BMC Genomics, 2009-12-29) Genètica i Millora Animal

  Background: Prolificacy is the most important trait influencing the reproductive efficiency of pig production systems. The low heritability and sex-limited expression of prolificacy have hindered ...
