In a recently published article, professor Doug Speed from Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG), together with colleagues Anubhav Kaphle and David Balding (University of Melbourne), report their most up-to-date results concerning the genetic architectures of complex traits, and how their work with improved methods and models have corrected the original methods proposed more than a decade ago.

A new Danida project headed by Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) aims to improve the quantity and quality of Black Soldier Fly products through selective breeding in Kenya and Uganda. The project results are expected to lead to job creation opportunities and climate-friendly bio-waste management in a circular bio economy, and covers several UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Researchers from Aarhus University have received a grant of more than DKK 11 million from the Independent Research Fund Denmark for a new project entitled "Temperature induced disease resistance - TEMPRES". The project will support the green transition in Denmark and the EU by studying plants' resistance to rust diseases and how this resistance is affected by temperature.

Professor Doug Speed from Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) and colleagues from the Bioinformatics Research Center (BiRC) and National Centre for Register-based Research (NCRR) at Aarhus University have recently developed improved methods for predicting complex traits. The work has this week been published in the journal Nature Communications.
