60 000 SNP chip to fine map QTL affecting production traits, resistance to diseases and behaviour in sheep.

During the last 15 years in France, 10 different QTL studies have been carried out in sheep. Numerous economically important traits (milk and meat production and/or quality, reproduction, behaviour an

Cattle and sheep milk fine components analysis and genotyping program to detect and use QTL or major genes linked to milk content.

This project aims at determining the main genetic and environmental factors determining fine milk composition in fat and protein. It includes 3 tasks but is a part of a larger programme with six tasks

Contribution of livestock systems to the reduction of rural population vulnerability and to the promotion of their adaptability to climate and society changes in sub-Saharan Africa

Developpement of Broadband Acceleration Time histories for engineers

Genetic and functional characterization of the rainbow trout "mal" masculinizing mutation.

In contrast to the situation observed in mammals and birds, in which a major sex-determining system has been maintained over at least 100 million years of evolution, a very large diversity of sex dete

Genetic basis of feed efficiency in the growing pig

Improving feed efficiency in pig production has two main consequences: (i) increasing competitiveness of pig industry by reducing the cost of pork production – in a context of dramatic rise of the cos

Genomics of gametogenesis in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

The present project aims at improving the knowledge of the genetic and physiological bases of reproduction and associated processes of an economically important mollusk, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea

Identification and functional assessment of genes regulating muscle fiber production, an important trait for growth and muscle texture in fish.

Sea food consumption is an important component of healthy diet. Increase in aquaculture production is required to compensate rarefaction of sea food from wild fisheries. A challenge facing aquaculture

Impact of recombination and biased gene conversion on genome evolution: application to animal comparative genomics

The identification of functional elements (genes, regulatory elements) in large eukaryotic genomes such as those of animals and plants is a major issue. Sequence annotation relies heavily on comparati

Interfacing single molecules via nanoparticle networks

We approach the problem of interfacing nanoscopic molecules with macroscopic electrodes by using nanoscale intermediates. Our multiple-scale architecture, based on two-dimensional arrays of nanoparti
