Functional Breeding
Molecular genetic characterization of a buck-ewe hybrid (geep), its parents and offspring...more Our successor project QTCCm is underway. The aim of the project is the genomic analysis of the correlation and causality between quantitative traits in dairy cattle breeding, taking into account transcriptome and metabolome data. Our department is a partner in the joint project agri:change - Zukunft durch Wandel We warmly congratulate our research associate Dr. Paula Reich on receiving the DGFZ Dissertation Prize 2023 for her work on genomic analysis in German warmblood horses.
Based on the results of the EIP-funded project Rewali, on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 9:00 to 11:00 Together with agricultural practitioners, researchers from the University of Göttingen and many other stakeholders from industry and other projects: the benefits, effort and challenges of cultivation, feed potential and sustainability of the protein-rich small aquatic plant with filtering potential were discussed online to register The sustainable transformation of the agricultural and food industry is one of the greatest challenges of our time—multifaceted, complex, and full of contradictions. The "Agricultural Transformations" project, funded by the Ministry of Science and Culture, has resulted in a documentary film exploring this field of tension, which also features our project Rewali In cinema> MÉLIÈS We warmly welcome our new employee Uma Sai Teja Yarra, who will be working on the GTCCm project starting August 1, 2025. There are currently exciting thesis topics available on the topic of "Genomics in Horses." We are currently looking for a student assistant (m/f/d). We are currently looking for a master fisherman (m/f/d) for our working groupAquaculture. New results on the genomic background of milk yield and reproductive traits in German Holstein cattle published.
