About

Marcel Amills is an Associate Professor at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Spain. His research primarily focuses on genetic advancements in livestock breeding, studying traits in domestic animal species, and the genetic regulatory effects across various breeds. Recent publications include investigations into the myostatin gene in bulls, the genetic diversity of goats, and the population structure of Italian beef cattle breeds.
