(PLoS Genetics, 2019-10-11)Muscle development and lipid accumulation in muscle critically affect meat quality of livestock. However, the genetic factors underlying myofiber-type specification and intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation ... -
Diversity and structure of fragmented populations of a threatened endemic cyprinodontid (Aphanius sophiae) inferred from genetics and otolith morphology: Implications for conservation and management
(Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2019-12-02)The assessment of population structure and genetic diversity is crucial for the management and conservation of threatened species. Natural and artificial barriers to dispersal (i.e., gene flow) increase ... -
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)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 ... -
Link-HD: a versatile framework to explore and integrate heterogeneous microbial communities
(Bioinformatics, 2019-11-18)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 ... -
The presence of wild Senegalese sole breeders improves courtship and reproductive success in cultured conspecifics
(Aquaculture, 2020-01-03)The life cycle of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is not closed in captivity due to a reproductive dysfunction related to the lack of participation of cultured male breeders in the courtship. To ... -
Selection of Pru p 3 hypoallergenic peach and nectarine varieties
(Allergy, 2019-11-11)Peach is an important fruit consumed worldwide. However, it is also one of the most frequently reported allergenic fruits. Component diagnosis of peach allergy indicates Pru p 1, Pru p 2, Pru p 3, Pru ... -
Shelf‐life extension of multi‐vegetables smoothies by high pressure processing compared with thermal treatment. Part II: Retention of selected nutrients and sensory quality
(Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 2019-10-01)Consumers are increasingly demanding food products based on minimally processed fruit and vegetables (Part I), which are associated with “fresh‐like” qualities and convenience. Smoothies may well fit ... -
Update on Glässer’s disease: How to control the disease under restrictive use of antimicrobials
(Veterinary Microbiology, 2020-01-25)Antimicrobials have been commonly used to control bacterial diseases in farm animals. The efficacy of these drugs deterred the development of other control measures, such as vaccines, which are currently ... -
Cross-validation of generic risk assessment tools for animal disease incursion based on a case study for African swine fever
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020-02-18)In recent years, several generic risk assessment (RA) tools have been developed that can be applied to assess the incursion risk of multiple infectious animal diseases allowing for a rapid response to ... -
Near real-time monitoring of clinical events detected in swine herds in Northeastern Spain
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020-02-18)Novel techniques of data mining and time series analyses allow the development of new methods to analyze information relating to the health status of the swine population in near real-time. A swine ... -
Implementation of a quality by design approach in the potato chips frying process
(Journal of Food Engineering, 2019-04-29)The purpose of the article is to implement a holistic concept namely Quality by Design (QbD) approach for assessment of deep frying of potatoes chips. Critical quality attributes (CQAs), critical process ... -
Heterogeneity of Moraxella isolates found in the nasal cavities of piglets
(BMC Veterinary Research, 2020-01-30)Background Previous studies have shown that the genus Moraxella is commonly present in the nasal microbiota of swine. Results In this study, 51 isolates of Moraxella were obtained from nasal swabs ... -
