Danish Pig Genetics (DG) has expanded its international presence through international collaboration with expertise from the science and technology company AbacusBio, the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics of Aarhus University.
DG is developing its own genomic evaluation system for routine breeding index calculation across breeding programs.
The Danish Genetics Evaluation System (DGENES) will combine millions of datapoints from farm recording with genomic data in a Genomic BLUP, to produce the breeding index.
The genetic and genomic software package DMU from Aarhus University is used with technical support to ensure the successful operation of the software on internal DG computer servers.
