Multi-scale landscape genomic models

Environmental heterogeneity is one of the main actors of biodiversity and species adaptation as it exerts a selective pressure on observable characteristics of living organisms. Consequently, local adaptation favours certain genetic variants and, by doing ...

Neutral and Adaptive Drivers of Microgeographic Genetic Divergence within Continuous Populations: The Case of the Neotropical Tree Eperua falcata (Aubl.)

Matthieu Foll

Background In wild plant populations, genetic divergence within continuous stands is common, sometimes at very short geographical scales. While restrictions to gene flow combined with local inbreeding and genetic drift may cause neutral differentiation amo ...

Prospects and Challenges for the Conservation of Farm Animal Genomic Resources, 2015-2025

Stéphane Joost

Livestock conservation practice is changing rapidly in light of policy, climate change and market demands. The last decade saw a step change in technological and analytical approaches to define, manage and conserve Farm Animal Genomic Resources (FAnGR). Th ...

The Interplay Between Host Genetic Variation, Viral Replication, and Microbial Translocation in Untreated HIV-Infected Individuals

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha

Systemic immune activation, a major determinant of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease progression, is the result of a complex interplay between viral replication, dysregulation of the immune system, and microbial translocation due to gut mucosal da ...

Keyword Extraction and Clustering for Document Recommendation in Conversations

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Maryam Habibi

This paper addresses the problem of keyword extraction from conversations, with the goal of using these keywords to retrieve, for each short conversation fragment, a small number of potentially relevant documents, which can be recommended to participants. ...

Protecting Options in Global Markets: Evidence on the Use of Strategic Disclosure

Christopher Tucci, Jana Thiel, Tilo Peters

We examine the impact of globally diverse market operations on a firm’s choice to openly disclose some of its technology. We suggest that this strategic disclosure offers solutions to specific needs in the commercialization strategy of globally operating f ...

The characterization of goat genetic diversity: Towards a genomic approach

Stéphane Joost, Pierre Taberlet

The investigation of genetic diversity at molecular level has been proposed as a valuable complement and sometimes proxy to phenotypic diversity of local breeds and is presently considered as one of the FAO priorities for breed characterization. By recomme ...

A Web-GIS application for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) in Switzerland

In 2007, FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization, from the United Nations) initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals. One of the key issues mentioned is to ident ...

On the transition of genetic differentiation from isolation to panmixia: What we can learn from G(ST) and D

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Population genetic differentiation characterizes the repartition of alleles among populations. It is commonly thought that genetic differentiation measures, such as G(ST) and D, should be near zero when allele frequencies are close to their expected value ...
