New paper released today at Science, introducing "in situ genome sequencing", a method we invented to sequence DNA inside intact cells using a microscope! This lets us look at the 3D spatial structure of the genome (🔬XYZ), not just its sequence (🧬ACTG). (1/4)
Please see check out this new position within our growing ABS Beef Product Development team. I’m looking for someone who is passionate about innovation and delivering more profitable genetics to the beef industry worldwide. https://t.co/vnFF6KKpeD

Looking forward to speaking next week with @BrandonSowder1 about the value of using the right beef genetics in the dairy herd. Come joins us to hear how the dairy and the beef supply chain can be more profitable. https://t.co/LRJR3mFAp6
On methane emissions from cattle: “In effect, the animals are recycling carbon over a short time frame, so if the cattle population remains roughly the same, the contribution to warming remains about the same.”

I'm really looking forward to having Jared join the @ABS_Global_Inc team. We are excited to have Jared focus his efforts on NuEra Genetics and the value the program can bring to our customers. Welcome to the ABS family Jared!
ABS Global is pleased to welcome Jared Wareham as the North America NuEra Business Development Manager on September 21. In his new role, Wareham will grow the NuEra Genetics™ program as part of a whole-herd genetic solution for commercial beef customers. https://t.co/Z2btkrZDUB
Yesterday, I spoke about beef sustainability at the US Roundtable Sustainable Beef (USRSB). It amazes me, how a large consortium of beef producers, NGOs, packers, retailers etc develops common goals and pursues them aggressively to advance welfare and environmental issues.
Integrity Beef Sustainability Pilot Project Completes Two-Year Study
The Integrity Beef Sustainability Pilot Project completed its innovative two-year study to validate, track and trace beef sustainability claims across all segments of the supply chain.

I never imagined a fast food campaign would kick off a global conversation around methane. Our video has reached 14K views across social media thanks to you. Can we reach 25K views? Pls RT to affect a livestock methane narrative based on facts not fiction. https://t.co/Vo6JRFRVVb
“The End of Meat is Here”. Controversial opinion offered in the NYT. Pretty sure that more than just a few will have a beef with it.

Our next Computational Genetics Discussion Group will be tomorrow (12th) at 4pm (Edinburgh time). Richard Bailey will be talking about genomic cline models and their implementation in his R package gghybrid. https://t.co/6zLsL0iAAd
@Alpha_Genes
This is pretty darn cool. Measuring methane emissions and feed efficiency simultaneously opens up some great opportunities to improve the sustainability of beef production further.
