Researchers from Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) have participated in an international project, where findings show the necessity of either including methane in the breeding goal, or do it through a correlated trait as residual feed intake, if methane emissions are to be reduced.

Assistant professor (tenure track) Guillaume Ramstein from Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) has received an Emerging Investigator Grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The grant will be used for research in finding a new strategy to improve fitness of important crops.

Researchers from Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) participate in a new EU Horizon2020 project – RUMIGEN – which aims at developing more sustainable breeding programs and linked technologies in line with social demand, adding a novel, societal dimension defined as ‘room of acceptance’ to the project goals.

A new project aims at developing new sorts of faba beans for a more sustainable production in Denmark for the purpose of decreasing the import of soya beans for animal feed. Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) contributes to the project with its substantial expertise in large scale computations and statistical analyses.
