The Quest for Genes Involved in Adaptation to Climate Change in Ruminant Livestock
Simple Summary:& nbsp;After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and natural selection, together with demographic events, molded the livestock genome l ...
2021Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...
BMC2018Advances in farm animal genomic resources
The history of livestock started with the domestication of their wild ancestors: a restricted number of species allowed to be tamed and entered a symbiotic relationship with humans. In exchange for food, shelter and protection, they provided us with meat, ...
Frontiers2016The 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 ...
Elsevier2014Animal-Robot Interaction for Ethological Studies
A robot properly introduced into an animal group, accepted by the animals, and capable of interacting with them is a very powerful tool for advanced ethological research, particularly in gregarious animals. Moreover, such robots can find an application in ...
