    • A pilot RNA-seq study in 40 pietrain ejaculates to characterize the porcine sperm microbiome 

      Gòdia, Marta; Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Zingaretti, Laura M.; Darwich, Laila; López, Samantha; Rodríguez-Gil, Joan E.; Yeste, Marc; Sánchez, Armand; Clop, Alex (Theriogenology, 2020-08-15) Sanitat Animal; Genètica i Millora Animal
      The microbiome plays a key role in homeostasis and health and it has been also linked to fertility and semen quality in several animal species including swine. Despite the more than likely importance ...
    • Automatic Fruit Morphology Phenome and Genetic Analysis: An Application in the Octoploid Strawberry 

      Zingaretti, Laura M.; Monfort, Amparo; Pérez-Enciso, Miguel (Plant Phenomics, 2021-05-12) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      Automatizing phenotype measurement will decisively contribute to increase plant breeding efficiency. Among phenotypes, morphological traits are relevant in many fruit breeding programs, as appearance ...
    • Exploring deep learning for complex trait genomic prediction in polyploid outcrossing species 

      Zingaretti, Laura M.; Gezan, Salvador Alejandro; Ferrão, Luis Felipe V.; Osorio, Luis F.; Monfort, Amparo; Muñoz, Patricio R.; Whitaker, Vance M.; Pérez-Enciso, Miguel (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020-02-06) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      Genomic prediction (GP) is the procedure whereby the genetic merits of untested candidates are predicted using genome wide marker information. Although numerous examples of GP exist in plants and animals, ...
    • Gut eukaryotic communities in pigs: diversity, composition and host genetics contribution 

      Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc; Zingaretti, Laura M.; Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Olga; Dalmau, Antoni; Quintanilla, Raquel; Ballester, Maria (Animal Microbiome, 2020-05-07) Genètica i Millora Animal; Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Background The pig gut microbiome harbors thousands of species of archaea, bacteria, viruses and eukaryotes such as protists and fungi. However, since the majority of published studies have been focused ...
    • Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs 

      Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Zingaretti, Laura M.; Pérez-Pascual, David; Alexandre, Pamela A.; Reverter, Antonio; Dalmau, Antoni; Quintanilla, Raquel; Ballester, Maria (Animal Microbiome, 2021-10-24) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Background: The gut microbiota infuences host performance playing a relevant role in homeostasis and function of the immune system. The aim of the present work was to identify microbial signatures ...
    • Link-HD: a versatile framework to explore and integrate heterogeneous microbial communities 

      Zingaretti, Laura M.; Renand, Gilles; Morgavi, Diego P.; Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis (Bioinformatics, 2019-11-18) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Motivation We present Link-HD, an approach to integrate multiple datasets. Link-HD is a generalization of ‘Structuration des Tableaux A Trois Indices de la Statistique–Analyse Conjointe de Tableaux’, a ...
    • Modeling microRNA-driven post-transcriptional regulation using exon–intron split analysis in pigs 

      Mármol-Sánchez, Emilio; Cirera, Susanna; Zingaretti, Laura M.; Jacobsen, Mette Juul; Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Jørgensen, Claus B.; Fredholm, Merete; Figueiredo Cardoso, Tainã; Quintanilla, Raquel; Amills, Marcel (Animal Genetics, 2022-07-10) Genètica i Millora Animal
      The contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) to mRNA post-transcriptional regulation has often been explored by the post hoc selection of downregulated genes and determining whether they harbor binding sites ...
    • On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs 

      Calle-García, Joan; Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Zingaretti, Laura M.; Quintanilla, Raquel; Ballester Devis, Maria; Pérez-Enciso, Miguel (Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023-05-01) Genètica i Millora Animal
