    • Networks of inbreeding coefficients in a selected population of rabbits 

      Rodríguez‐Ramilo, Silvia T.; Reverter, Antonio; Sánchez, Juan P.; Fernández, Jesus; Velasco‐Galilea, Maria; González, Olga; Piles, Miriam (Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2020-08-17) Genètica i Millora Animal
      The correlation between pedigree and genomic‐based inbreeding coefficients is usually discussed in the literature. However, some of these correlations could be spurious. Using partial correlations and ...
    • 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
      Background Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction ...
    • Risk factors and genetic parameters of longevity in Spanish dairy goat breeds using a Weibull proportional hazards model 

      Ziadi, Chiraz; Sánchez, Juan Pablo; Sánchez, Manuel; Molina, Antonio (Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2023-12-07) Genètica i Millora Animal
      The aim of this study was to assess the most important risk factors that influence productive life (PL) and to estimate genetic parameters for PL using a Weibull proportional hazards model in two Spanish ...
    • Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population 

      Cánovas, Angela; Pena, Romi; Gallardo, David; Ramırez, Oscar; Amills, Marcel; Quintanilla, Raquel (PLoS ONE, 2012-04-24) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
    • Selection of Internal Control Genes for Real-Time Quantitative PCR in Ovary and Uterus of Sows across Pregnancy 

      Martínez-Giner, María; Noguera, José Luis; Balcells, Ingrid; Fernández-Rodríguez, Amanda; Pena, Ramona N. (PLoS ONE, 2013-06-13) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Background: Reproductive traits play a key role in pig production in order to reduce costs and increase economic returns. Among others, gene expression analyses represent a useful approach to study ...
    • SNP variation in the promoter of the PRKAG3 gene and association with meat quality traits in pig 

      Ryan, Marion T.; Hamill, Ruth M.; O’Halloran, Aisling M.; Davey, Grace C.; McBryan, Jean; Mullen, Anne M.; McGee, Chris; Gispert, Marina; Southwood, Olwen I.; Sweeney, Torres (BMC Genetics, 2012-07-25) Qualitat i Tecnologia Alimentària
      Background: The PRKAG3 gene encodes the γ3 subunit of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), a protein that plays a key role in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. Non-synonymous ...
    • Social network analysis of agonistic behaviour and its association with economically important traits in pigs 

      Agha, Saif; Fàbrega, Emma; Quintanilla, Raquel; Sánchez, Juan Pablo (Animals, 2020-11-16) Benestar Animal; Genètica i Millora Animal
      Aggression behaviour has several negative consequences on the performance and welfare of pigs. Here, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach was employed to (1) identify individual traits that describe ...
    • The origin of human pathogenicity and biological interactions in Chaetothyriales 

      Quan, Yu; Deng, Shuwen; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Mayer, Veronika E.; Muggia, Lucia; Cometto, Agnese; Vicente, Vania A.; Menezes da Silva, Nickolas; Grisolia, Maria Eduarda; Song, Yinggai; Ahmed, Sarah A.; Niu, Xueke; Lima, Bruna Jacomel Favoreto de Souza; Feng, Peiying; Vitale, Roxana G.; Teixeira, Marcus; Sudhadham, Montarop; Azevedo, Conceicao Pedrozo e Silva de; Bocca, Anamelia; Haase, Gerhard; Selbmann, Laura; Shi, Dongmei; Kang, Yingqian; de Hoog, Sybren (Fungal Diversity, 2023-03-01) Sostenibilitat en Biosistemes
      Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat ...
    • Transcriptional Characterization of Porcine Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes 

      Pérez-Montarelo, Dafne; Fernández, Almudena; Barragán, Carmen; Noguera, José Luis; Folch, Josep M.; Rodríguez, M. Carmen; Óvilo, Cristina; Silió, Luis; Fernández, Ana I. (PLoS ONE, 2013-06-18) Genètica i Millora Animal
      The leptin (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) regulate food intake and energy balance through hypothalamic signaling. However, the LEP-LEPR axis seems to be more complex and its expression regulation has not ...
    • Whole genome comparisons of Fragaria, Prunus and Malus reveal different modes of evolution between Rosaceous subfamilies 

      Jung, Sook; Cestaro, Alessandro; Troggio, Michela; Main, Dorrie; Zheng, Ping; Cho, Ilhyung; Folta, Kevin M; Sosinski, Bryon; Abbott, Albert; Celton, Jean-Marc; Arús, Pere; Shulaev, Vladimir; Verde, Ignazio; Morgante, Michele; Rokhsar, Daniel; Velasco, Riccardo; Sargent, Daniel James (BMC Genomics, 2012-04-04) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
