Really nice presentation from Luis Varona from Universidad Zaragoza at WCGALP2022 about inbreeding depression, load and purge!!, really amazing and definitely interesting models

Complex genetic diversity in African cattle breeds and their ancestry clusters!. Lovely talk from Juliane Friedrich from The Roslin Institute at WCGALP2022

Proud of our team member Karolina Kaseja at WCGALP2022 presenting about genotypic information and accuracy for mastitis and footrot in Texel sheep. Very well done!!!

A new software for disease-related traits: SIRE programme using bayesian inference to estimate host genetic variation. Wonderful and interesting talk by Chris Pooley from The Roslin Institute and BioSS at WCGALP2022

An outstanding presentation by Katrina Morris from the The Roslin Institute and the CTLGH at WCGALP2022 about genomic characterisation of African chickens. A real privilege to have her in our team!!!

This morning session on Genetics in the tropic is really interesting! The pitches generated a nice and fruitful discussion and here is Andrea Talenti talking of expanding the cattle reference graph genome by including tropical breeds. Great talk 👏

Nice talk from Loïc Yengo about GWAS in human data (huuuuuge dataset!) for a highly polygenic trait. A very good final plenary talk for an outstanding WCGALP2022!!!!
