Abstract:
This article talks about how genomic evaluation has changed how sires are selected in the major dairy and beef breeds. The population of bulls being evaluated for dairy herd sire usage has grown perhaps 10 to 20 fold through the use of genomic screening of potential sires prior to purchase and admission to a bull stud. The number actually standing at stud has not changed. Genomic evaluation in both beef and dairy breeds has been an important component in the substantial growth of the beef (sire) on dairy (cow) phenomena.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
