Biogeoinformatics 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 ...
EPFL2020Combining landscape genomics and ecological modelling to investigate local adaptation of indigenous Ugandan cattle to East Coast fever
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal sickness affecting cattle populations of eastern, central, and southern Africa. The disease is transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, and caused by the protozoan Theileria parva parva, which invades host lym ...
2018Combining Landscape Genomics and Ecological Modelling to Investigate Local Adaptation of Indigenous Ugandan Cattle to East Coast Fever
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal sickness affecting cattle populations of eastern, central, and southern Africa. The disease is transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, and caused by the protozoan Theileria parva parva, which invades host lym ...
2018Genomic diversity and disease prevalence in Ugandan cattle
Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Elia Vajana, Pierre Taberlet
Ugandan cattle are represented by three main types: the long-horned Ankole, the short-horned zebu, and the Ankole-zebu crosses called “Nganda”. In the course of the EU-funded project Nextgen, Ugandan cattle have been extensively sampled over the whole coun ...
2015Adaptations 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 ...
2013Past and future landscape dynamics in pasture-woodlands of the Swiss Jura Mountains under climate change
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Joël Chételat, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Silvopastoral systems are traditional components of the landscape in the Swiss Jura Mountains, and are promising approaches for the sustainable management of mountain areas worldwide. Due to complex vegetation dynamics, pasture-woodlands are very vulnerabl ...
Resilience Alliance2013Spatial and seasonal patterns of cattle habitat use in a mountain wooded pasture
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat
Management-oriented models of cattle habitat use often treat grazing pressure as a single variable summarizing all cattle activities. This paper addresses the following questions: How does the spatial pattern of cattle effects vary between cattle activitie ...
2006The materials science of protein aggregation
Numerous human diseases are associated with conformational change and aggregation of proteins, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, prion diseases (such as mad cow disease), familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), Huntington's ...
