AUSTRALIAN Sheep Breeding Values have proven their accuracy for more than 20 years, taking much of the guesswork out of breeding sheep. But according to Sheep Genetics manager Hamish Chandler, it is up to stud and commercial breeders to get the most out of them. Sheep Genetics has nearly 900 clients in Australia, including more than 500 terminal breeders, and additional clients overseas including some in the United States and New Zealand. The national genetic evaluation system which operates under the brands of MERINOSELECT and LAMBPLAN has delivered significant genetic gains. At the sold-out Sheep Genetics breakfast seminar held during the recent LambEx in Adelaide, Mr Chandler highlighted the large variation between the rate of gain between the top 20 per cent and bottom 20pc of producers and potential to drive greater profits. He said there was almost a $2 a ewe joined per year difference between the rate of gain of the top 20pc and bottom 20pc of producers of maternal breeds on the Maternal $ index. And while Merinos were a diverse gene pool, the MP+ Index varied around the same amount. In terminals, the variation in average rate of genetic gain was 50 cents/ewe joined from the … Continue reading →

Home genetics startup 23andMe has secured a $1.4-million two-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to build survey tools and expand its gene database. With these funds from NIH, an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the company intends to use its stores of genetic data for various research projects. External researchers will be able to access information on thousands of diseases and traits for more than 400,000 people. The grant enables researchers from around the world to make genetic discoveries, Anne Wojcicki, chief executive officer of 23andMe, said in a statement. 23andMe, which is backed by Google Inc., has not always played well with the federal government. Late last year, it hit a major regulatory snag when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration expressed concerns about the public health consequences of inaccurate results from 23andMes $99 DNA test. The agency took issue with 23andMes claim that its service could deliver insights about peoples genetic predispositions toward 254 diseases and conditions. 23andMe agreed to stop marketing and selling its test. But it has continued to grow its genetic database by offering raw health and ancestral information, such as a persons ethnic heritage, in … Continue reading →

Specifically, the grant supports four areas of development: "23andMe is building a platform to connect researchers and consumers that will enable discoveries to happen faster," said Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and CEO of 23andMe. "This grant from the NIH recognizes the ability of 23andMe to create a unique, web-based platform that engages consumers and enables researchers from around the world to make genetic discoveries." The grant will enable 23andMe to refine current survey questions, release 15 new questionnaires, and discover novel associations between health conditions and genetic variants. The company will publish new discoveries in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The grant also supports improvements to survey infrastructure and the creation of new tools for collection of phenotypic data. This will improve the usability of surveys, including an updatable health profile where participants can keep track of known health conditions and add simple interactive cognitive tests to the 23andMe website. The grant also supports 23andMe's … Continue reading →
