Genome-wide candidate signatures of divergent selection between broody Silkie and White Leghorn chickens revealed by high-density SNP genotyping.
Genome-wide population structure, genetic differentiation and homozygosity patterns were investigated between Silkie and White Leghorn chickens, using high-density autosomal SNP genotypes, providing a population-genomic framework for prioritising candidate regions for maternal behaviour, reproductive physiology and egg...

Genome-wide association study of egg number and egg weight in indigenous Tilili chickens in Ethiopia using whole genome sequencing
Egg production traits, especially egg number and egg weight, are economically important in chicken breeding programs. However, the genetic basis of these traits in Ethiopian indigenous chicken populations remains unexploited. The study aimed to identify suggestive genomic loci and candidate genes associated with pa...

Genome-Wide Differentiation, Inbreeding, and Candidate Selection Loci in Local Vietnamese Pig Breeds
Vietnam harbors exceptional genetic diversity among at least 26 indigenous pig breeds. We analyzed genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from 90 animals representing 15 local Vietnamese breeds and six Landrace pigs using principal component analysis, the windowed fixation index (FST), cross-population e...

Recurrent genome recovery in backcross breeding programs of Passiflora edulis Sims based on SNP DArTseq sequencing
The backcross method in Passiflora edulis Sims is used for genetic improvement with the aim of transferring disease-resistance from wild to commercial species. Recurrent genome recovery and the characterization of hybrids and potential parents with desirable traits are essential for the design of intra and interspecifi...

The first Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population for Italian ryegrass reveals genomic regions associated with seed shattering
The first NAM population established in the outcrossing forage grass species Italian ryegrass is presented, to dissect the genetic control of seed shattering and demonstrate the effectiveness of NAM populations for elucidating the genetic architecture of complex traits in outcrossing forage grasses.

Population structure and diversity of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.): Genomic inference and preliminary distribution of breeding-relevant traits in a Niger-centred Sahelian diversity panel
The study of genetic diversity is essential for understanding population structure and optimizing breeding programs. To support cowpea breeding efforts, we conducted a diversity study on a panel of 185 accessions, including 125 newly collected accessions from Niger and additional accessions provided by research insti...
