Two-generation common-garden experiment reveals a strong genetic contribution to migration tendency in brown trout (Salmo trutta)
Many salmonids, including brown trout (Salmo trutta), demonstrate alternative migration strategies under different environmental conditions, and as such, they are assumed to be predominantly facultative. Through experimental breeding for two generations, w ...
CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING2023Growing maize landraces in industrialized countries: from the search for seeds to the emergence of new practices and values
In industrialized countries, maize cultivation is mainly associated with the use of hybrid varieties and input-intensive monocultures. Despite the homogeneity of European maize landscapes, alternative models of maize production based on landraces exist. Un ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2021Exploring Synthetic Strategies for Nanocrystal/Reticular Framework Hybrids and Their Potential as CO2 Reduction Electrocatalysts
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into valuable chemicals has the potential to realize a carbon-neutral energy cycle. Developing catalysts that can achieve high selectivity towards one of the possible reduction products is one of the bigge ...
EPFL2021Biogeoinformatics for the management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR)
In the context of both severe selection in farm animals and potential effects of climate change, it is crucial to implement a sustainable management of the breeding practice, supported by a judicious use of geographic information technologies. Based on thi ...
EPFL2020Signatures of selection and environmental adaptation across the goat genome post-domestication
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat
Background: Since goat was domesticated 10,000 years ago, many factors have contributed to the differentiation of goat breeds and these are classified mainly into two types: (i) adaptation to different breeding systems and/or purposes and (ii) adaptation t ...
BMC2018GenMon-CH : a Web-GIS application for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) in Switzerland
Since the initation of the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) in 2007, individual member countries, including Switzerland, should have started a monitoring program. In this context, we developed GenMon-CH, funded by the Federal ...
2017A WebGIS platform for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (GENMON)
Stéphane Joost, Giona Matasci, Ivo Widmer
Background In 2007, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR). The main goal of this plan is to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals, ...
Public Library of Science2017The Demographic and Adaptive History of the African Green Monkey
Relatively little is known about the evolutionary history of the African green monkey (genus Chlorocebus) due to the lack of sampled polymorphism data fromwild populations. Yet, this characterization of genetic diversity is not only critical for a better u ...
Oxford Univ Press2017Detecting and Quantifying Changing Selection Intensities from Time-Sampled Polymorphism Data
Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Sebastian Matuszewski, Stefan Jean Laurent, Hyunjin Shim
During his well-known debate with Fisher regarding the phenotypic dataset of Panaxia dominula, Wright suggested fluctuating selection as a potential explanation for the observed change in allele frequencies. This model has since been invoked in a number of ...
Genetics Society of America2016Multi locus genotypic data reveal high genetic diversity and low genetic structure of Iranian sheep
Iranian livestock diversity is still largely unexplored, in spite of the interest in the populations historically reared in this country located near the Fertile Crescent, a major livestock domestication centre. In this investigation, the genetic diversity ...
