Surprised to be asked by @NatureComms to review a manuscript. They probably clicked the wrong profile... but I'll take it before they know. 😄
1/6 🧬🐴 New paper out!
Baroque horses are iconic breeds with centuries of history linked to European culture and equestrian traditions.
But what can their genomes reveal about their origins, diversity, and conservation?

5/6 🌱🧬
Genomics helps preserve these breeds by:
🔹 Monitoring diversity
🔹 Managing inbreeding
🔹 Protecting genetic heritage
6/6 🤝🐎
This study highlights the value of combining genomics and conservation to safeguard one of humanity’s oldest partnerships: the horse.

Genomic Diversity and Historical Legacy of Baroque Horses: A Living Cultural Heritage
An international collaboration exploring the genomic history of Baroque horse breeds, including Argentine Criollo 🇦🇷 and Peruvian Paso 🇵🇪.
This work was only possible thanks to an amazing international team of researchers from Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Belgium, Hungary and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
A real pleasure working with all of you! 🌍🤝
I hope these results help support the conservation and sustainable management of these remarkable breeds.
Thanks to all my co-authors, collaborators, breeders and institutions that made this work possible.

Horse filming day for our project applying artificial vision on phenotyping horse functionality.
Thanks a lot to #hierrodelbocado yeguada for receiving us :)
Our lab has been accredited in Program Trebol! We’re now doing science in a much more environmentally friendly way: cutting waste, saving energy and water, better disposal practices, and inspiring our whole community to do the same. #ProgramTrebol #SustainableScience #GreenLab

Great day learning how new technologies are shaping the future of equine reproduction, especially relevant for the generation of the clones I’m studying 🐴 @CitogenomicsLAB
