The successful applicants in the 2014 LSARP competition were announced in Saskatoon on July 21st and two of the projects submitted through Genome Alberta were successful.
One is a project led by Genome Alberta and the Ontario Genomics Institute to help livestock industry growth through the use of genomics-based approaches to select for dairy cattle with the genetic traits needed for more efficient feed conversion and to lower methane emissions. The other is a Genome Alberta and Genome Prairie initiative to develop genomics tools to help pork producers manage disease, reduce costs, and increase product quality.
