A further look of the genetic origin and singularity of the Torbiscal Iberian pig line

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
Although the Torbiscal line of Iberian pigs has been largely studied, some aspects of its history are not well known. In this paper, we used pedigree-based methods on a complete genealogy of 4,077 entries in order to get a comprehensive analysis of its ...

Genetic diversity, population structure, and relationships in a collection of pepper (Capsicum spp.) landraces from the Spanish centre of diversity revealed by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)

open access: yesHorticulture Research, 2019
Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the most important vegetable crops; however, pepper genomic studies lag behind those of other important Solanaceae. Here we present the results of a high-throughput genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) study of a collection of ...

Optimum mating designs for exploiting dominance in genomic selection schemes for aquaculture species

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In commercial fish, dominance effects could be exploited by predicting production abilities of the offspring that would be generated by different mating pairs and choosing those pairs that maximise the average offspring phenotype. Consequently,
