Adaptations to Climate-Mediated Selective Pressures in Sheep
Following domestication, sheep (Ovis aries) have become essential farmed animals across the world through adaptation to a diverse range of environments and varied production systems. Climate-mediated selective pressure has shaped phenotypic variation and h ...
Oxford Univ Press2014Analysis of B. taurus and B. indicus admixture in Uganda as revealed by the Illumina BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip
Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Pierre Taberlet
The NextGen project investigates disease resistance in indigenous Ugandan cattle. Since population structure and stratification may produce biased results, We have investigated the genomic structure of sampled animals genotyped with the BovineSNP50 Genotyp ...
2013Uncovering the genetic basis of adaptive change: on the intersection of landscape genomics and theoretical population genetics
Stéphane Joost, Jeffrey David Jensen, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Sylvie Stucki, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer
A workshop recently held at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) was dedicated to understanding the genetic basis of adaptive change, taking stock of the different approaches developed in theoretical population genetics and land ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013SamBada in Uganda: landscape genomics study of traditional cattle breeds with a large SNP dataset
Since its introduction, landscape genomics has developed quickly with the increasing availability of both molecular and topo-climatic data. Current challenges involve processing large numbers of models and disentangling selection from demography. Several m ...
2013Geocomputational approaches for the analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and multi-scale data in landscape genomics
Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Kevin Leempoel
The application of geocomputation to the field of landscape genomics (Manel et al. 2010) permits to carry out demanding computational tasks that recently emerged because of the advent of large Next-Generation Sequencing data. When investigating the genetic ...
Swiss Academy of Sciences2013Utilization of the Scythe C++ open source library for statistical geocomputation in livestock landscape genomics
Understanding genetic basis of adaptation is of key importance, especially to insure food supply for present and future populations. Cultivated plants and livestock animals are subjected to high selection pressure due to climate change, increasing food nee ...
