Additional NSIP Genetic conditions from genotypes: PRNP, MSTN, FecB, CLPG
Sheep GEMS Update – September 2024 The Sheep GEMS project has enabled producers to capture genetic information from their animals with the intent to simultaneously make genomic predictions of breeding values, verifying parentage, and identifying genetic condition status. Such multiple uses of a single genotyping platform will help avoid the extra costs of running DNA tests separately for these different purposes. Our objective was to develop and validate a process to accurately obtain…
