Danish University Opens Genome Research Center
December 19, 2012| |
Denmark's Aarhus University will establish a research center in genomic selection to provide new tools for use in modern breeding of plants and animals. Dubbed as GenSAP, the centre will be brought into being through the collaboration of a long list of partners ranging from universities and research institutions in Denmark and abroad to companies and industrial organizations. The centre will be led by Mogens Sandø Lund from Aarhus University and has a collective budget for over five years of 68.7 million Danish kroner, of which the Danish Council for Strategic Research, Programme Commission for Health, Food and Welfare has granted 30.6 million kroner.
