Improving Herd Performance: Thermo Fisher's Crucial Role in Ireland's Genotyping Program
Sean Coghlan, CEO of The Irish Cattle Breeding Federation talks about Thermo Fisher's microarray technology in improving performance in international dairy and beef herds through data gathering, genetic evaluations, and industry utilization via the National Genotyping Program that genotypes about 800,000 cows and calves annually, with industry collaboration.
Reducing greenhouse emissions: genomic testing of every cow in Ireland
Learn how Dr. Andrew Cromie, the technical director of the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF), has been overseeing the mass genotyping of Irish cattle using genomics tools for the primary objective of genetic improvement of dairy and beef cattle in Ireland. The ICBF is currently using the Axiom Genotyping Platform to collect the data necessary to take that improvement to the next level.
Plant breeding for the future using the Applied Biosystems Axiom and Eureka genotyping platforms
Jason Nicholas, Senior team leader at Syngenta, shares how the Thermo Fisher Scientific Axiom and Eureka platforms provide advantages in terms of cost and turn-around time that contribute to the ability to conduct low-medium density genotyping at the scale needed to meet Syngenta’s molecular breeding targets. Jason also touches upon the future of genomic applications in crops.
Genomics and increased selection accuracy in aquaculture
Matt Baranski, General Manger, Mowi (formerly known as Marine Harvest), describes the company’s process for ensuring the best-quality product possible. The company rears eggs and produces feed in-house. They use the most advanced tools available to make fish selection as accurate and as high quality as possible for their customers. As part of this approach, breeding plans focus on genomic selection for economically important traits.
Doing citizen science with the Axiom genotyping solution
Dr. Karlsson, Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, has successfully identified genes related to canine obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in doberman pinschers. Canine OCD is highly heritable, making it an ideal candidate for genomic research. Dr. Karlsson and her colleagues used gene arrays to compare dobermans with and without OCD symptoms, and identified a gene also implicated in human OCD whose protein product stabilizes connections between glutaminergic neurons.
