2010 Research Highlights for the Animal Genetics Division

In 2010, five research highlights were retained to illustrate a few scientifc results from our Division in different fields.

1. Characterization of the gene and mutation responsible for the rex hair trait in the rabbit

The rex hair trait in the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) refers to animals that have finer hair than regular rabbits, making their fur particularly soft and smooth and therefore having high added v...

2. Erasmus-Mundus Accreditation of a European Graduate Program in Genetics and Animal Selection (EGS-ABG)

EGS-ABG is a European graduate program in Animal Genetics, accredited by Erasmus-Mundus for a period of 5 years, organized by an international consortium made up of 10 higher education organisation...

3. Genomic Selection of Dairy Cattle

Genomic selection is transforming genetic improvement of animals. The genetic potential of an individual can now be evaluated from high-throughput analysis of its genome.

4. Deficit in arylsulfatase G and hereditary degenerative diseases of the cerebellum :

Our objectives are to gain knowledge on canine and human NCL and on the mechanisms responsible for neuron homeostasis. In addition, our canine model for ARSG deficit will allow us to test new thera...

5. High-throughput RH mapping and its contribution to animal genome sequencing projects

Whereas many farm animal sequencing projects are ending (cows, pigs, sheep, goats), the assembling process for chromosomal sequences has highlighted the importance of chromosomal maps of intermedia...
