AlphaSimR course https://t.co/4vOmBP2HKl Week 2: Time to look into populations and genomes of individuals! Here showing some identificatons of individual in a population, their haplotypes and genotypes, and showing how we can do basic operations on this information.

[Jana Obsteter @janaobsteter]

Our new paper is out! Check it out if you're interested what happens when importing in cattle populations

AlphaSimR course https://t.co/4vOmBP2HKl Week 2: We start the week with a video on some fundamental biology. What are traits? What is DNA? How do the concepts of Nature and Nurture contribute to phenotypes? We show how we encode these concepts in AlphaSimR.

New phenotypes, from an old method 🎯. Alot of re-inventing the wheel, goes into adapting a method to a species 🐟. Digitalisation helps reduce counting ⏱. Next steps: onwards to genetic evaluations 🧬 @NewTechAqua

Apply for the core scientist position in the @HighlanderLab at https://t.co/gLtmewNGnq

[Ivan Pocrnic @IvanPocrnic]

I’m looking for a core scientist to join me on the Roslin istitute. The overall objective of the lab is to enhance the current livestock breeding strategies by increasing their productivity, adaptability, and resilience through developing novel crossbreeding methods and tools.

[Gregor Gorjanc @GregorGorjanc]

Exciting opportunity: join us as a core scientist (open-end position) in the @HighlanderLab at @roslininstitute. While our university admin is yet to process the post documentation, we are open to inquires and expressions of interest.

[Janez Jenko @janez_jenko]

@IvanPocrnic @roslininstitute Congrats Ivan! That's a great news 👏 All the best🤞

Latest national dairy cow numbers for the UK is down by nearly 50%. Meanwhile the number of cars has increased from 1.6mln to 33.2mln in the UK alone over the same period. Less cows, more cars but still it’s ruminants to blame for global warming. Good one.
