Join us on March 27th to learn from Dr. Hung and Dr. Habier on genomic selection from the industry perspective! NAPB Join the meeting with the Zoom Meeting ID: 815 1436 4782 AND Passcode: 765684

🚨 SPECIAL ISSUE 🚨 #JDSCommunications has just released an issue dedicated to the latest advances in dairy cow fertility. Listen in as Editor in Chief Matthew Lucy introduces the importance of this topic and read the full issue ➡️ bit.ly/JDSCfertility

Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder who set the course for the future of the semiconductor industry, has passed away at the age of 94. intel.ly/3Z9IeMo

Can we use genotype arrays to identify embryos more likely to results in a successful pregnancy? Aniek Bouwman & a team at WUR Animal Sciences investigate in the #JDSCommunications special issue dedicated to #dairycowfertility. Read the article doi.org/10.3168/jdsc.2…

The first direct estimate of de novo structural variant mutation rate for pigs is published! Congrats and thanks to the whole team: Marije Steensma et al. Aniek Bouwman Martijn Derks Breed4Food Wageningen U&R WUR Animal Sciences Topigs Norsvin Hendrix Genetics Genetics at BMC rdcu.be/dafeX

First SNP array for (farmed) insect species! A 600k SNP chip for Tenebrio molitor mealworm.

Fond memories of datacollection on farm in COVID time with chickenwhisperer István Fodor. Which led to this: Automated pose estimation reveals walking characteristics associated with lameness in broilers #wur_abg Cobb Europe FR Analytics sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share our GWAS review, Good practices in GWAS in dairy cattle Journal of Dairy Science | JDS Communications. We discuss common limitations and challenges that have been overlooked in the analysis and interpretation. doi.org/10.3168/jds.20… Aniek Bouwman QGG AU #INRAE

📣Training on methodology for biology-driven selection🧬 👩‍🏫BovReg is happy to announce the onsite, hands-on course on methodology for biology-driven selection, to be held from the 25th – 28th of September 2023 at Aarhus Universitet 🇩🇰 ℹ️ Info & registration👇 bovreg.eu/training-on-me…

#wur_abg strategic day with all of us. Topics of 100 PhD thesis over the past 7 years. Nice divers contribution to many relevant topics!

Another cool paper from #wur_abg on tracking group housed broilers using video images. Broilers look indistinguishable, so ID switches occur within tracks...a challenge to dive into further Jan Erik Doornweerd, because for breeding we want individual measures.

In embryo studies cattle is a great model species: "The rate of de novo structural variation is increased in in vitro–produced offspring and preferentially affects the paternal genome" genome.cshlp.org/cgi/content/lo… #wur_abg in collaboration with GIGA-ULiège

It was an very interesting symposium and a great farewell of the even greater Henri Woelders.

On 28-29 February 2024, the QGG-based FLYgene project is organising the conference #Insects for the #GreenEconomy together with icipe and project partners of the #healthynsects project. Deadline for abstract submission is 15 December Goutam Sahana Grum Gebreyesus DanidaFellowship
