EGENES seeking geneticist!

Edinburgh Genetic Evaluation Services (EGENES) is the unit within SRUC that undertakes national genetic and genomic evaluations for dairy, beef, sheep and goats. It is a world class centre operating to ICAR standards utilising high performance computing and employing one of the largest reference population of genotypes in the world. Whilst EGENES operates independently producing evaluations for its customers, those same customers enjoy the benefit of EGENES being tightly integrated with the Animal Breeding and Genomics Team meaning research activity has a very short route to market.
 
We’re seeking a geneticist with experience of solving problems in genetic and genomic evaluations, one that can work within in a team and customers. It is expected that the candidate will undertake necessary research to underpin practical application of developments in genetic evaluation methodologies.

Nic Friggens gives keynote lecture at Dublin International Animal Science Conference

Nic Friggens gave the Sir John Hammond Lecture on 'Precision agriculture meets the genomics revolution' at the Britisch Society of Animal Science Annual Conference in Dublin early April 2018. This attracted 450 scientists from across the glode and was an excellent opportunity to explain GenTORE project in simple terms to an audience of scientists from many different backgrounds and disciplines. Lively discussions were generated!
