  • Exciting news from CGIL – our summer course is coming up fast! After a brief hiatus due to COVID, we are back at the University of Guelph to learn about a select topic in genomics research with Dr. Norbert Reinsch from the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN). This one-week course will focus on parent-of-origin effects, especially on the epigenetic phenomenon of genomic imprinting. You will learn how genetic analyses may accommodate these effects and how appropriate models can be implemented in broadly used software programs. Spaces are limited so be sure to register in advance!

  • Projected climate changes will influence livestock production, an important issue for the dairy industry.

  • Lowered inputs with greater outputs for dairy farmers.
