Genotyping-by-sequencing reveals a high number and quality of single nucleotide polymorphisms in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) from the Peruvian Andes.

Guinea pigs are a major source of animal protein for Peruvian Andean families. Despite the economic and cultural relevance of guinea pigs, their genomic characterization has been scarcely addressed. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) has emerged as an affordable alternative to genotyping of livestock and native animals.

Information retrieval and question answering: A case study on COVID-19 scientific literature.

Biosanitary experts around the world are directing their efforts towards the study of COVID-19. This effort generates a large volume of scientific publications at a speed that makes the effective acquisition of new knowledge difficult. Therefore, Information Systems are needed to assist biosanitary experts in accessing, consulting and analyzing these publications.
