This study shows that using cryopreserved genetic resources can help manage genetic diversity in animal populations, either by slowing its loss or guiding selection, but requires careful management to avoid issues with old genetic material.

This study optimizes the constitution of cryopreserved collections for managing genetic diversity in animal populations by simulating breeding scenarios and evaluating the impact of collection size, age, and sampling strategies.

This study assesses the impact of a conservation program on genetic diversity and inbreeding in two French chicken breeds using whole-genome sequencing data.

This study assesses the genetic diversity of cryopreserved livestock collections using new metrics and proposes a framework for managing genetic diversity in populations.

This study shows that using cryopreserved semen from an old bull helped restore genetic diversity in a cattle breed without increasing inbreeding and improved reproductive performance.

The paper evaluates genetic conservation of French local chicken breeds through management programs, finding that early integration into programs reduces inbreeding and highlights the utility of molecular markers for monitoring diversity.

The paper annotates transcriptomes and chromatin structures in liver and T cells from four livestock species using RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and Hi-C, revealing conserved regulatory elements and genome organization patterns.
