Bovine Genetics: Development of Optimal Breeding Traits & Evaluation of Biotechnology Techniques

Bovine Genetics: Development of Optimal Breeding Traits & Evaluation of Biotechnology Techniques with Expected Turnaround Times

Bovine genetic lab employees face long work hours processing and analyzing large amounts of genomic data. Turnaround time can be anywhere from a few weeks to months. This leads us to the question, “How can newer biotechnology advancements, such as artificial intelligence or CRISPR, reduce turnaround time in bovine genetics labs?” Alternative biotechnology advancements could potentially help desirable traits to be identified more quickly, as well as undesirable traits, aiding in disease detection and prevention. By identifying and implementing new biotechnological advancements, the turnaround time in the laboratory might decrease and provide customers with faster results that can be used to help them reach their goals. Bovine will be genetically altered and bred to carry desirable traits such as producing more milk, high quality meat, environmental resilience, and disease resistance. The objective of my project is to compare and contrast various biotechnology techniques used in bovine genetics and identify new techniques that can be implemented to improve overall turnaround time in bovine genetic labs.
