Consibertromics

During the months of September and October, the sampling campaign of juvenile specimens (8 months old) from the Mediterranean lineages (ME and AD) and the Central European origin group was carried out at the Bagà hatchery, belonging to the Generalitat of Catalonia, and from the native Atlantic (AT) and Duero (DU) lineages at the O Veral and Goo hatcheries of the Xunta of Galicia.

The goal is to conduct expression studies using RNAseq and regulation studies with the analysis of methylation patterns at the genomic level (methylome) in two target tissues (i.e., muscle and liver).

The journal Etologuía, edited and published by the Spanish Society of Ethology and Evolutionary Ecology (SEEEE), has published in its issue number 30 a summary of the CONSIBERTROMICS project, which can be found in the attached PDF (in Spanish).

Last June the Tenth Congress of the Iberian Society of Ichthyology (SIBIC 2024) was held under the slogan ‘FishesForFuture’. We presented the results of the TRADAPTOMICS project on the genomic diversity of brown trout populations in the upper reaches of the River Ter, in the Eastern Pyrenees.
