    • Genome-wide analysis of porcine backfat and intramuscular fat fatty acid composition using high-density genotyping and expression data 

      Muñoz, María; Rodríguez, M Carmen; Alves, Estefânia; Folch, Josep María; Ibañez-Escriche, Noelia; Silió, Luis; Fernández, Ana Isabel (BMC Genomics, 2013-12-02) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Background: Porcine fatty acid composition is a key factor for quality and nutritive value of pork. Several QTLs for fatty acid composition have been reported in diverse fat tissues. The results obtained ...
    • Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip 

      Fernández, Ana I.; Pérez-Montarelo, Dafne; Barragán, Carmen; Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Ibanez-Escriche, Noelia; Castelló, Anna; Noguera, José Luis; Silió, Luis; Folch, Josep María; Rodríguez, M Carmen (BMC Genetics, 2012-05-20) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers. These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
    • Liver transcriptome profile in pigs with extreme phenotypes of intramuscular fatty acid composition 

      Ramayo-Caldas, Yuliaxis; Mach, Nuria; Esteve-Codina, Anna; Corominas, Jordi; Castelló, Anna; Ballester, Maria; Estellé, Jordi; Ibanez-Escriche, Noelia; Fernández, Ana I.; Pérez-Enciso, Miguel; Folch, Josep M (BMC Genomics, 2012-10-11) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Background: New advances in high-throughput technologies have allowed for the massive analysis of genomic data, providing new opportunities for the characterization of the transcriptome architectures. ...
    • Study of using marker assisted selection on a beef cattle breeding program by model comparison 

      Rezende, F.M.; Ferraz, J.B.S.; Eler, J.P.; Silva, R.C.G.; Mattos, E.C.; Ibanez-Escriche, Noelia (Livestock Science, 2012-03-31) Genètica i Millora Animal
      A data set of a commercial Nellore beef cattle selection program was used to compare breeding models that assumed or not markers effects to estimate the breeding values, when a reduced number of animals ...
    • Variability-specific differential gene expression across reproductive stages in sows 

      Casellas, Joaquim; Martínez-Giner, M.; Pena, Romi; Balcells, I.; Fernández-Rodríguez, A.; Ibanez-Escriche, Noelia; Noguera, José Luis (Animal, 2013-10-11) Genètica i Millora Animal
      Differential gene expression analyses typically focus on departures across mathematical expectations (i.e. mean) from two or more groups of microarrays, without considering alternative patterns of ...
