Research Summary

The Decker Computational Genomics Group combines population genomics and quantitative genomics. Using population genomics, we better understand the history of domestication, breed formation and selection in cattle. Using quantitative genomics, we create new genetic and genomic predictions (DNA tests) to help farmers and ranchers select more profitable and sustainable beef herds. See our website for more details.
