Animal Genomics/ Genetics for Animal Health
Explores the inheritance of traits in animals, aiming to enhance health, productivity, and biodiversity through genetic research and applications.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Animal Genetics is a priority area for STAR IDAZ, so there is focus on how global trends and advances in genetics can impact animal health. By staying ahead of the latest research in the field, STAR IDAZ ensures that genetic research and applications align with future needs. Currently, there is no active working group for this priority topic.
Information
- Science Media Centre of Canada: Improving Animal Health with Genomics
-
Animal genome database
This resource provides factsheets on the genome sizes of a wide range of animal species. It’s a valuable tool for researchers and educators looking for specific genetic data on various animals.
-
FAO - Animal Diversity Genome System
The FAO offers extensive resources on animal genetic resources, including detailed datasheets on various livestock species. These datasheets include information on genetic diversity, conservation status, and genetic improvement strategies.
-
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Animal Genome Project
The NCBI provides access to genomic data for various animal species. While not a traditional factsheet, it offers extensive data that can be used to create detailed genetic profiles for research and study.
