An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome
(Scientific Reports, 2018-05-24) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ...
Variations in association of nasal microbiota with virulent and non-virulent strains of Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis in weaning piglets
(Veterinary Research, 2020-02-03) Sanitat Animal
Glaesserella (formerly Haemophilus) parasuis causes Glässer's disease, which results in high economic loss in the swine industry. To understand the polymicrobial interactions of G. parasuis and the nasal ...
Exploiting Genetic and Genomic Resources to Enhance Heat-Tolerance in Tomatoes
(Agronomy, 2019-01-08) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
High temperature is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses in tomatoes. Many studies
highlighted that even small increases in temperature can alter the plant reproductive system, causing ...
Genetic diversity and selection signatures of the beef ‘Charolais de Cuba’ breed
(Scientific Reports, 2018-07-20) Genètica i Millora Animal
In this study, we used BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip data to estimate the structure, putative
ancestral origin as well as to identify regions with selective sweeps that may have had an important
role ...
Co-expression network analysis predicts a key role of microRNAs in the adaptation of the porcine skeletal muscle to nutrient supply
(Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2020-01-17) Genètica i Millora Animal
Background
The role of non-coding RNAs in the porcine muscle metabolism is poorly understood, with few studies investigating their expression patterns in response to nutrient supply. Therefore, we aimed ...
Identification of rumen microbial biomarkers linked to methane emission in Holstein dairy cows
(Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2019-08-16) Genètica i Millora Animal
Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions is relevant for reducing the environmental impact of ruminant production. In this study, the rumen microbiome from Holstein cows was characterized through a ...
QTL mapping of melon fruit quality traits using a high-density GBS-based genetic map
(BMC Plant Biology, 2018-12-04) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
Background
Melon shows a broad diversity in fruit morphology and quality, which is still underexploited in breeding programs. The knowledge of the genetic basis of fruit quality traits is important for ...
Modulatory effect of protein and carotene dietary levels on pig gut microbiota
(Scientific Reports, 2019-10-10) Genètica i Millora Animal
In this study we investigated the impact of dietary protein and carotene levels on microbial functions and composition during the last month of purebred fattening Duroc pigs. Fecal microbiota was ...
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019-09-02) Genètica i Millora Animal
Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a
systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ...
Link-HD: a versatile framework to explore and integrate heterogeneous microbial communities
(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 ...
