Farm animal genome databases

FABISnet - a network of farm animal biodiversity databases

A network of WEB based databases has been created in the EU project “EFABIS – a European Farm Animal Biodiversity Information System” for the recording and dissemination of biodiversity data of breeds in animal agriculture. It integrates the historical database from the European Association of Animal Sciences (EAAP) and the world wide DAD-IS system of FAO in Rome. Its outstanding features are a...

Modelling Farm Animal Welfare

The use of models in the life sciences has greatly expanded in scope and advanced in technique in recent decades. However, the range, type and complexity of models used in farm animal welfare is comparatively poor, despite the great scope for use of modeling in this field of research. In this paper, we review the different modeling approaches used in farm animal welfare science to date, discuss...

Genome Databases

A genome database can be described as a repository of DNA sequences from many different species of plants and animals. They are linked to supportive databases to aid in interpretation of the sequence data.Genome databases are designed and maintained in the electronic environment of one or several computers, using several operating systems, software applications, file transfer protocols and user...

Genome Databases

A genome is all of the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism. Genome databases are an organized collection of information that have resulted from the production or mapping of genome (sequence) or genome product (transcript, protein) information. The process of making a genome database involves taking information that researchers have generated and organizing it into a dat...
