Animal geneticist L. Dale Van Vleck has won an award for a research proposal to develop a computer system to extract and analyze biological data for the genetic evaluation of livestock.
Van Vleck won the T.W. Edminster Research Associate Award from the USDA Agricultural Research Service.
While working for the Genetics and Breeding Research Unit of the USDA-ARS, Van Vleck proposed developing procedures to identify economic traits associated with genomic markers in livestock. The computer program is then designed to permit reliable statistical analysis of inherited traits to determine location of significant genes.
