Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jan 1, 2021
End Date: Dec 31, 2024
Objective:
1. Process, assemble and validate existing functional genomics and annotation data in cattle;
2. Identify useful functional annotation information using US dairy genomics and phenomics database;
3. Apply functional genomics and annotation information to improve cattle GWAS and genomic selection.
Approach:
UMD and ARS scientists propose to process, assemble and validate existing functional genomics and annotation data in cattle. After identifying useful functional annotation information using US dairy genomics and phenomics database, they will apply functional genomics and annotation information to improve cattle genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic selection.
