A genomewide association study in divergently selected lines in rabbits reveals novel genomic regions associated with litter size traits
Sosa‐Madrid, Bolívar Samuel; Santacreu, María Antonia; Blasco, Agustín; Fontanesi, Luca; Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2019)Uterine capacity (UC), defined as the total number of kits from unilaterally ovariectomized does at birth, has a high genetic correlation with litter size. The aim of our research was to identify genomic regions associated ... -
Comparative transcriptome profile between Iberian pig varieties provides new insights into their distinct fat deposition and fatty acids content
Villaplana-Velasco, Ana; Noguera Jiménez, José Luis; Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Ballester, Maria; Muñoz Vázquez, Lourdes; González, E.; Tejeda, J.F.; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (MDPI, 2021-02-27)The high deposition of intramuscular fat and the content of oleic fatty acid are characteristic of the Iberian pig. These two parameters present great variability and are differentiated amongst the varieties that make up ... -
Five genomic regions have a major impact on fat composition in Iberian pigs
Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Noguera Jiménez, José Luis; García-Santana, M. J.; González, E.; Tejeda, J. F.; Ros Freixedes, Roger; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (Nature Research, 2019)The adipogenic nature of the Iberian pig defines many quality attributes of its fresh meat and dry-cured products. The distinct varieties of Iberian pig exhibit great variability in the genetic parameters for fat deposition ... -
Genomic regions influencing intramuscular fat in divergently selected rabbit lines
Sosa‐Madrid, Bolívar Samuel; Hernández, Pilar; Blasco, Agustín; Haley, Chris; Fontanesi, Luca; Santacreu, María Antonia; Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Navarro, Pau; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (Wiley, 2019-11-07)Intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the main meat quality traits for breeding programmes in livestock species. The main objective of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with IMF content comparing two rabbit ... -
Identification of functional mutations associated with environmental variance of litter size in rabbits
Casto-Rebollo, Cristina; Argente, María José; García, María Luz; Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (BMC, 2020-05-06)Background: Environmental variance (VE) is partly under genetic control and has recently been proposed as a measure of resilience. Unravelling the genetic background of the VE of complex traits could help to improve ...
