I wonder how different Full Flush would look if he were fitted and feed according to today's style. I realize he would never perfectly fit today's style, but how much closer could he look just based on feeding and fitting?

Feed efficiency rankings can change depending on how you report the data. http://blog.steakgenomics.org/2014/08/improving-feed-efficiency-feed.html Using indexes, like Leachman's $Profit and Angus' $B, are the most appropriate way to handle feed intake data.

I have been fascinated by this project. Interested to see more results come out. Regardless of the outcome, we will learn something!

Recombination serves an important function. It helps makes sure that matching chromosomes pair up. Recombination helps make sure chromosome 1 inherited from your father matches up with chromosome 1 from your mother during cell divisions (mitosis and meiosis), rather than chromosome 1 pairing up...

They are graphing the genetic merit. So, if on chromosome 1, a bull has a value of $50, and the gene effects from his dam were worth $10 and the gene effects from his sire are worth $40. He still got 50% of his DNA from dam and sire, it is measure what is the performance/merit/value associated...

There are proteins (cellular machinery) that are responsible for recombination rates. Because recombination rate is heritable, we can select for organisms that have recombination more or less frequently. This is global recombination. We also have recombination hot spots. This is when a protein...

Cryopreserved semen genotypes really well. The bulls from 40 years ago were genotyped in the last 6 years with the new SNP tests. So, the measures of recombination rate are quite accurate. They also adjusted for things like inbreeding that would influence their ability to measure recombination...

While I didn't know context of quote (I do now), I wouldn't be surprised if Resnick knew context and used it on purpose. Part of his presentation was to show controversy of genomic technology.
