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 ...

Using Modern Conservation Tools for Innovative Management of Coral Reefs: The MANACO Consortium

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Coral reefs are under threat and innovative management strategies are urgently required. However, discoveries from innovative fields of coral reef research are rarely transposed in practical conservation actions. This is mainly due to the difficulties in k ...

GEOME : A web-based landscape genomics geocomputation platform

Stéphane Joost, Michaël Kalbermatten

Landscape ecologists and resource conservation managers increasingly need geo-referenced data but are not trained to efficiently use Geographical Information Systems together with appropriate geo-environmental information and spatial analysis approaches. I ...

Advances in farm animal genomic resources

Stéphane Joost

Livestock conservation is changing rapidly in light of policy developments, climate change and diversifying market demands. The last decade has seen a step change in technology and analytical approaches available to define and manage Farm Animal Genetic Re ...

Geocomputational approaches for the analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and multi-scale data in landscape genomics

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel, Sylvie Stucki

The application of geocomputation to the field of landscape genomics (Manel et al. 2010) permits to carry out demanding computational tasks that recently emerged because of the advent of large Next-Generation Sequencing data. When investigating the genetic ...

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, ...

A Network Based Kernel Density Estimator Applied to Barcelona Economic Activities

Stéphane Joost, Emanuele Strano, Timothée Produit, Nicolas Lachance-Bernard

This paper presents a methodology to compute an innovative density indicator of spatial events. The methodology is based on a modified Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) that operates along road networks, and named Network based Kernel Density Estimator (NetKD ...

Quantitative Geography and Genomics: Spatial analysis to detect signatures of selection along a gradient of altitude in the common frog (Rana temporaria)

Stéphane Joost

We applied a spatial approach to detect regions of the genome of the common frog (Rana temporaria) which are possibly selected along an altitude gradient. The identification of selected regions in the genome is important as it gives the possibility to unde ...

Relatedness and scale dependency in very high resolution digital elevation models derivatives

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel

In the field of landscape genetics, environmental variables are needed to assess the influence of the environment on the spatial distribution of the genetic information of animals or plants. However, measuring variables (e.g. temperature, precipitation) at ...

Indication of spatially random occurrence of Chlamydia-like organisms in Bufo bufo tadpoles from ponds located in the Geneva metropolitan area

Stéphane Joost, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Elia Vajana, Ivo Widmer

Occurrence of bacteria belonging to the order Chlamydiales was investigated for the first time in common toad (Bufo bufo) tadpole populations collected from 41 ponds in the Geneva metropolitan area, Switzerland. A Chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR was us ...

Spatial clusters of daily tobacco consumption before and after a smoke-free policy implementation

Stéphane Joost, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy

This study assessed the spatial dependence of daily tobacco consumption and how it is spatially impacted by individual and neighborhood socioeconomic determinants, and tobacco consumption facilities before and after a smoke-free implementation. Individual ...

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 ...

Cluster-specific urban contexts associated with high levels of sleep impairment and daytime sleepiness: Findings from the Urbasan collaborative study

Michelangelo Mussini, Stéphane Joost, Marco André Vieira Ruas, Philippe Voruz, Noé Fellay

Introduction: Impaired sleep is a global health concern. However, the environmental factors contributing to sleep impairment in urban settings are still not well understood. Methodology: This study involved 179 participants from a Swiss municipality (Yverd ...

Estimating and predicting snakebite risk in the Terai region of Nepal through a high-resolution geospatial and One Health approach

Stéphane Joost

Most efforts to understand snakebite burden in Nepal have been localized to relatively small areas and focused on humans through epidemiological studies. We present the outcomes of a geospatial analysis of the factors influencing snakebite risk in humans a ...

Linguistic traits as heritable units? Spatial Bayesian clustering reveals Swiss German dialect regions

Stéphane Joost, Noemi Romano

In the early 2000s, the SADS, an extensive linguistic atlas project, surveyed more than three thousand individuals across German-speaking Switzerland on over two hundred linguistic variants, capturing the morphosyntactic variation in Swiss German. In this ...

Public smoking ban and socioeconomic inequalities in smoking prevalence and cessation: a cross-sectional population-based study in Geneva, Switzerland (1995–2014)

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

Introduction Smoking bans were suggested to reduce smoking prevalence and increase quit ratio but their equity impact remains unclear. We aimed to characterise the socioeconomic status (SES)-related inequalities in smoking prevalence and quit ratio before ...

Spatial distribution of mammography adherence in a Swiss urban population and its association with socioeconomic status

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

Purpose: Local physical and social environment has a defining influence on individual behaviour and health-related outcomes. However, it remains undetermined if its impact is independent of individual socioeconomic status. In this study, we evaluated the s ...
