We are excited to announce that the 2024 #ChappelMemorialLecture will be presented by Dr. Peter J. Hansen, distinguished professor and L.E. “Red” Larson Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Florida. May 21 | 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM | ECLA 1720 and Teams About the Lecture: The Future of Assisted Reproductive Technologies in Cattle Embryo transfer in cattle was first achieved in 1950. Since that time, improvements in the process of producing and transferring embryos, including important contributions from #OVC, have given rise to #embryotransfer being a procedure that can be easily performed on #dairy and #beef farms. Driven by recent advances in #genomics and #stemcellbiology, #embryotechnologies are today poised to transform genetic improvement and reproductive management strategies in #cattle. These developments will be the focus of the lecture. To register, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dudt7pfY

One can visualize no form of higher life without the existence of the microbes. They are the universal scavengers. They keep in constant circulation the chemical elements which are so essential to the continuation of plant and animal life. #microbiology #microbiome #microbes #nature #life

DEVELOPING A GENOTYPING STRATEGY FOR YOUR HERD What animals should I test? In contrast to performance information, there is no requirement to collect DNA samples for all animals in a contemporary group. Testing can consequently be conducted on as many or as few animals as desired, depending on the objective. Testing is recommended Earlier in the animal’s life with the greater benefit of genotyping allowing you to make more informed decisions earlier.  Learn more https://lnkd.in/gphzubw3

I am searching around for examples of research labs who are using sea urchins as an genetic subject and physiologic baseline for studying a range of mammal genetic ailments and conditions. Anyone come across and can point me to a lab(s) working in mammalian transgenic studies using purple or red sea urchins? Be helpful to take some research pressure off the murine subjects. #murines #purpleseaurchins #redseaurchins #geneticresearch #biotech #laboratorymouse
