Whole‐Genome Sequencing in Galicia Reveals Male‐Biased Pre‐Islamic North African Ancestry, Subtle Population Structure, and Microgeographic Patterns of Disease Risk

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 24, 31 December 2025.
Whole genome sequencing of Galicians (GALOMICS; 17.2 M variants) reveals a genetic landscape consistent with broader Iberian patterns, characterized by only five clusters. Phylogenetic analyses indicate recent divergence and mild regional inbreeding.

Management of genetic diversity in small farm animal populations*

open access: yesAnimal, 2011
Many local breeds of farm animals have small populations and, consequently, are highly endangered. The correct genetic management of such populations is crucial for their survival.

A case study of Eucalyptus globulus fingerprinting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
• Introduction Tree genetic improvement programs usually lack, in general, pedigree information. Since molecular markers can be used to estimate the level of genetic similarity between individuals, we genotyped a sample of a Portuguese Eucalyptus ...

Genetic structuring and within‐flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
We investigated the genetic structure and within‐flock relatedness of wild turkeys across sites in the southeastern United States. We found that the probability of within‐flock relatedness was lowest at a study site where spring harvest of males did not occur, and relatedness varied by sex and age relationships across study sites.

Effect of non-random mating on genomic and BLUP selection schemes

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2012
Background The risk of long-term unequal contribution of mating pairs to the gene pool is that deleterious recessive genes can be expressed. Such consequences could be alleviated by appropriately designing and optimizing breeding schemes i.e.

Genomic variation in a widespread Neotropical bird (Xenops minutus) reveals divergence, population expansion, and gene flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Elucidating the demographic and phylogeographic histories of species provides insight into the processes responsible for generating biological diversity, and genomic datasets are now permitting the estimation of histories and demographic parameters with ...

Role of kinship in sociality of female eastern wild turkeys

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
We used a matrix of contact rates generated from high‐resolution global positioning system data to quantify interactions and contact rates based on genetic relatedness. We found that most females with genetic relatives in their winter flocks did not join social group prior to breeding that included those relatives. Our findings suggest that female wild

Does Functionality Condition the Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Endangered Dog Breeds under Island Territorial Isolation?

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Despite the undefinition of the origins of Ca de Rater (CR) and Ca de Bestiar (CB) dogs, references to these endangered autochthonous breeds highlighted their ratting/pet and shepherding/guard skills for centuries.

Detecting linkage between a trait and a marker in a random mating population without pedigree record. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Modern linkage-based approaches employing extended pedigrees are becoming powerful tools for localizing complex quantitative trait loci. For these linkage mapping methods, it is necessary to reconstruct extended pedigrees which include living individuals,
