in Stuttgart
Mentoring THETA’s way –> the outstanding BSc Bioinformatics student presents his project at the DGfZ conference:
B. Czech, E. Dobkowski, M. Mielczarek, M. Frąszczak, J. Szyda
“The construction of Bos taurus breed specific reference genomes for Fleckvieh, Simmental, Guernsey and Brown Swiss”
The 4th day of EAAP
On the last day of the conference we had a pleasure to hear various lectures during the “Genetics free communications” session. It covered topics concerned with genetics of species such as cattle, chicken, bee and rainbow trout.
The detailed programme of the conference can be found under https://eaap2017.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/eaap-2017-scientific-programme-presentations.pdf
Efficiency of different BLUP indexes accounting for polyandry in bee genetic evaluation presentation
The 3th day of EAAP
The “Genomic selection” session was full of inspiring presentations. It covered topis such as ssGTBLUP, breeding programs in fish, uncorrelated trait analysis as well as validation of genomic evaluations. During this session MM gave a presentation about the genetic background of clinical mastitis in cattle. 
The 2th day of EAAP
During the “Plenary session” we could hear interesting presentations focused on automation for livestock production as well as future of precision livestock farming (from the industry point of view).
“The future of precision livestock farming” presentation
The other intersting session was “Non-additivity and predicting crossbred performance in the era of genomics” covering topics such as phantom epistasis, genomic prediction and additive and dominant genetic effects.
in Vienna
MF & JS on “Joint Conference on Biometrics & Biopharmaceutical Statistics” with “The analysis of CNV regions in five different breeds of bulls” and “Beyond GWAS. The application of SNP-chips in genomic selection”.
On Earth again!
The EAAP conference is coming! Each year, the theta group participates in the international conference called EAAP – “European Association for Animal Production”. This year the conference takes place in Tallin (Estonia). Dateiled information can be found here: https://eaap2017.org/
The oral presentation “Unravelling the Genetic Background of Clinical Mastitis in Cattle (Bos taurus) Using Whole Genome Sequence” and the poster “False Positives structural deletions in livestock” will be presennted by us.
