Ever laid awake at night wondering how number of vertebrae in pigs are linked to number of teats? Who am I kidding, of course you have. See our latest paper in @FrontGenetics: https://t.co/MvK7ds8Co8

Modern breeding schemes for livestock species accumulate a large amount of genotype and phenotype data which can be used for genome-wide association studies....

Large scale sequence-based screen for recessive variants allows for identification and monitoring of rare deleterious variants in pigs
biorxiv.org
Most deleterious variants are recessive and segregate at relatively low frequency. Therefore, high sample sizes are required to identify these variants. In this study we report a large-scale sequence...

A mind-blowing paper has come out today in @Nature In 2016, JC Venter Institute scientists trimmed a bacterial genome to its barest minimum required for life to synthesize what they called a "minimal genome" ( https://t.co/CNDeaZUmYd). Today, a group of scientists from

Hvis Norge legger seg på linja genredigering = GMO vil vi fremdeles spise importert mat fra andre land der genredigert mat ikke trenger merkes. Dette gjelder etter hvert mange land hvor teknologien er i bruk. Ny NOU presenteres snart. #genredigering

After five long months of winter, spring is here. And so is an application deadline for research proposals. No long sunny ascension weekend for me.
