The Functional Genomics Center of ESALQ has been serving researchers from universities, Embrapa, research institutes, and private sector companies. Over the past 5 years, we have served 337 genomics projects from 79 institutions in Brazil and abroad. Among the institutions served, we find several State Universities, Federal Universities, Research Institutes, 12 Embrapa units, Fiocruz, But…
Hologenome is an evolutionary concept that both the host and its associated microorganisms (microbiota) form a cohesive biological entity known as holobionte, whose interaction affects the development and general fitness of the so-called hologenome, such that it has been considered as an independent level of selection. Particularly in ruminants, in addition to allowing to break down compl…
The objectives of this proposal is acquisition of new equipment to further improve the service provided by the Core Facility: Functional Genomics. This core facility was stablished with support from several institutions. It is fully functional and in the last two years supported research from over 140 principal investigators. More than 14 master students, 42 PhD students and 16 postdoctor…
This equipment is a robot for 96 and 384 plates. It will be used for sample preparation in the genotyping and sequencing phases of the project, for serial dilution, sample normalization and library preparation. This equipment will allow a much faster and precise preparation of the samples for genotyping and sequencing. The sample preparation for genotyping is a crucial step. The genotypin…
The domestic chicken is important for food production with high quality protein for the human consumption population. Technological improvements have allowed the identification of polymorphisms quickly and at relatively low cost. Dense single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips have emerged as a valuable resource for genetic studies, such as genomic selection and the detection of quantita…

Brazil is one of the largest beef producers in the world, with the Nelore breed being predominant in the national herd. Structural variations (SVs) are a class of polymorphisms ¿ 50 bp, which include translocations, inversions, and CNVs, i.e., deletions and duplications. Recent studies have shown that CNVs are associated with phenotypic traits important for production, e.g., feed efficien…
In Brazil, beef cattle are mainly based on pure and crossbred zebu animals, which makes the breed important in the global beef market. Transcriptome analysis and WGCNA (Weighted correlation network analysis) are important methods for the construction of gene expression networks associated with phenotypic characteristics to propose new genes of interest for further studies. In this way, it…
In Brazil, the beef cattle herd is composed predominantly of Nelore animals (origin Bos indicus) or mestizos of the breed. As Brazilian beef exports grow, there is a need for efficient use of natural resources in order to reduce production of pollutants, such as methane (by-product of ruminal fermentation) and other greenhouse gases, thereby reducing the environmental impact of livestock …
Milk productivity is influenced by several factors, including animal health, where in this case mastitis stands out as the main source of loss in production. Mastitis is an inflammation of the bovine mammary gland and is considered one of the main problems related to financial losses and milk production losses, making the raw material of low quality, directly affecting the food industry a…

A análise do transcriptoma, em combinação com a análise de coexpressão, desempenha um papel fundamental na construção de redes de expressão gênica associadas a características fenotípicas. Compreender como as variantes genéticas controlam a expressão gênica deverá nos ajudar a desvendar alguns dos mecanismos que controlam a variação fenotípica. Esta proposta tem como objetivo identificar …
Chickens are an important source of high-quality protein and muscle growth is a central trait for poultry breeding programs. For years, the intense genetic improvement in poultry farming has brought advances in poultry yield and efficiency, reducing production costs. Understanding the molecular process controlling muscle development is important to identify which genes are responsible for…
Stress in production animals generated by common production practices is a frequent issue of concern. Besides the ethical issue of inducing stress in animals, some practices in animal industry may have consequences from a human health perspective. The environment where production animals are raised is fundamental to determine not only their later health and wellbeing, but also the quality…
