Characterization of genome-wide segmental duplications reveals a common genomic feature of association with immunity among domestic animals por Xiaotian Feng, Jicai Jiang, Padhi, Abinash, Chao Ning, Jinluan Fu, Aiguo Wang, Mrode, Raphael A., Jian-Feng Liu

“…However, they have received little attention in most livestock species.Aiming at characterizing SDs across the genomes of diverse livestock species, we mapped genome-wide SDs of horse, rabbit, goat, sheep and chicken, and also enhanced the existing SD maps of cattle and pig genomes based on the most updated genome assemblies. We adopted two different detection strategies, whole genome analysis comparison and whole genome shotgun sequence detection, to pursue more convincing findings. …”

Climate-informed agronomic advisories for maize in Colombia: Progress report for the Excellence in Agronomy (EiA) initiative Latin America Use Case por Diaz, Maria Victoria, Estrada, Oscar, Llanos, Lizeth, Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando

“…Decision making in agriculture has been based on general (blanket) recommendations made by technicians, the farmer's own knowledge or local practices that are adopted as customary for generations. Recognizing the need to generate information to help make site-specific decisions based on traditional agronomic research, this study uses Machine Learning (ML) models and a Global Harmony Search (GHS) methodology to find an optimal solution to the combination of practices that a farmer could implement according to his soil and climate conditions specific to his land. …”
