Animal Genomics Manuscript

NIFA National Program staff, along with staff from the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, published a peer-reviewed manuscript describing the proceedings and recommendations from a stakeholder workshop for animal genomics that was held in Washington, DC in September 2004. The workshop was requested by the former USDA Undersecretary for Research, Education, and Economics Dr. Joseph Jen. The manuscript also describes USDA's implementation of stakeholder recommendations since the 2004 workshop. The manuscript is Green RD, Qureshi MA, Long JA, Burfening PJ, Hamernik DL. Identifying the Future Needs for Long-Term USDA Efforts in Agricultural Animal Genomics. International Journal of Biological Sciences 2007; 3:114-120.
