Researchers at the Wageningen University & Research Animal Breeding & Genomics ( WUR - ABG ) have partnered with the Technical University of Delft to develop a single - step genomic assessment algorithm . The consortium Breed4Food , comprising CRV ##T , bio Genetics , Topigs Norsvin and Cobb Europe , was the first to test the algorithm , which aims to increase the accuracy of genomic breeding value predictions , and showed " promising efficiency " , according to WUR - ABG . It is hoped the research team will use the single - step algorithm to routinely assess livestock genomic breeding values .
Researchers at the Wageningen University & Research Animal Breeding & Genomics (WUR-ABG) have partnered with the Technical University of Delft to develop a single-step genomic assessment algorithm. The consortium Breed4Food, comprising CRV BV, Hendrix Genetics, Topigs Norsvin and Cobb Europe, was the first to test the algorithm, which aims to increase the accuracy of genomic breeding value predictions, and showed "promising efficiency", according to WUR-ABG. It is hoped the Breed4Food firms will use the single-step algorithm to routinely assess livestock genomic breeding values.
