The federal Project Grant award of $800,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The goal of the project is to identify DNA regulatory regions in livestock species, develop software to catalog and integrate this information with existing genome data, assess the utility of genetic variation within these regulatory regions for genomic breeding methods, and provide...
This $180,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The overall goal of this 3-year project is to identify genes related to vein initiation and spacing in the leaves of corn. To achieve this, the project will use three approaches: a genome-wide association study to associate vein density measurements with genetic variation,...
