PK 40 Biotechnology for the Livestock Industry
June 8, 2012 |
ISAAA publishes Pocket K 40 on Biotechnology for the Livestock Industry, a two-page simple discourse on the biotechnology tools employed in livestock improvement. It discusses Reproductive Animal Biotechnologies such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer, in-vitro fertilization and somatic cell nuclear transfer; Applications of genomics and marker-assisted selection; and future initiatives in DNA-based technology for livestock improvement. Pockets of Knowledge (Pocket Ks) are packaged information on biotechnologies in easy to understand style and format that is easily shared and distributed. Pocket K 40 is now available at the ISAAA website at http://www.isaaa.org/resources/publications/pocketk/40/default.asp.
