Bovine genome provides clues to possible new developments
Scientists from Texas AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) are part of a consortium of researchers who have developed an annotated sequence of the cattle genome which could lead to better disease resistance and higher quality meat for consumers, the researchers say. view more (2009-04-24)
Research Fortnight 16 January issue: stories on Wales, lab accreditation, the infection agency, EPSRC and DEFRA
Cardiff should be the research hub for Wales Cardiff University should become the research 'hub' of higher education in Wales, according to the Welsh Assembly's education committee. This restructuring should be backed by the development of an all-Wales strategy for research and more money for 'third stream' activities. The recommendations are... view more... (2002-01-16)
