Genome of a female Hereford cow / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The genome of a female Hereford cow was published in 2009.[1] It was sequenced by the Bovine Genome Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, a team of researchers led by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.[2] It was part of an effort to improve livestock breeding and at the time was one of the largest genomes ever sequenced.[3]
