Farm-based nanopore sequencing study reports reliable genetic testing results
Fast, on-farm genetic testing for cattle is practical and achievable for northern producers, according to University of Queensland research.
Story Brief
In partnership with Meat & Livestock Australia and the Department of Primary Industries, a team from UQ's Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) tested low-pass nanopore sequencing on three commercial farms.
