Thanks for the shout out librarian! We are currently researching a threatened fish to see if we see similar selection patterns in other species. Need to publish some results analyzing Holsteins.

The answer is yes. See my 2014 PLOS Genetics paper.

One could argue there is no such thing as a pure breed. Genetic ancestry is too complicated. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1151026/jsp/knowhow/story_49583.jsp

I hope to see many of you at the Angus Convention next week. http://blog.steakgenomics.org/2015/10/speaker-sensation-at-national-angus.html Also, come see me in the stalls at the American Royal this week. I would be happy to translate all the genetics and genomics jargon into real English for you!

Some new content from A Steak in Genomics. Much meatier than recent posts. What have we learned from sequencing efforts to date? http://blog.steakgenomics.org/2015/10/what-have-we-learned-from-sequencing.html A little jargon heavy. Please let me know what terms need better definitions.

The way we estimate milk in beef production should take energy density of the milk into account. I don't know how my smartphone works. But, I know it does work, I trust it, and use it all the time. I don't think most crop guys understand hybrid corn breeding or genetic modification introducing...

No sequencing of Chillingham cattle, but did you see our Chirikof Island Cattle preprint? http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/01/26/014415 Wrote 2 USDA grants, one looking at fertility and the other at local adaptation. Sent research proposals to 6 breed association foundations.

knabe- I tried to explain why what I refer to as "gene tests" were not effective in my BIF talk, but perhaps I wasn't blunt enough. The file is large (3.5 MB pdf) so it might take a second to download. http://www.bifconference.com/bif2015/documents/2015BIF-SelectionDecisions-Decker.pdf The...
