Utilization of the Scythe C++ open source library for statistical geocomputation in livestock landscape genomics

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Understanding genetic basis of adaptation is of key importance, especially to insure food supply for present and future populations. Cultivated plants and livestock animals are subjected to high selection pressure due to climate change, increasing food nee ...

Un rôle pour la science de l'information géographique en écologie moléculaire La détection de régions du génome soumises à la sélection naturelle

Stéphane Joost, Régis Caloz

We introduce a new method to detect signatures of natural selection in the genome based on the application of spatial analysis, with the contribution of Geographical Information Systems, environmental variables, molecular data, and multiple univariate logi ...

A landscape genomics approach to understanding and predicting species distribution

Stéphane Joost

In habitat modelling, an initial step is to define geoenvironmental variables to be included in a predictive model. According to Guisan and Zimmermann (2000), the selection of predictors can be made either arbitrarily, automatically by stepwise procedures, ...

GIScience joining with molecular biology: a novel approach of detecting signatures of natural selection within the genome

Stéphane Joost

Even if many research projects in population genetics and conservation biology collect a quantity of spatially located biological samples, and despite its present predominance in Science and its direct application to concerns of public society (health, foo ...

Detecting footprints of selection in Ovis aries by a spatial analysis approach

Stéphane Joost

Detecting adaptive loci in the genome is essential as it gives the possibility to understand what proportion of a genome or which genes are under the pressure of natural selection. In this paper, we used a Spatial Analysis Method (SAM) recently developed t ...
