Peru excels in research during the Plant and Animal Genome Conference in the US.

During the Plant & Animal Genome Conference 2024 (PAG 31), held in California, United States, researchers from the National University Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza (UNTRM), in collaboration with the National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (INIA) and the Colombian Corporation of Agricultural Research (Agrosavia) presented studies related to the genomics of Creole goats from northern Peru. These works were carried out in oral presentation and poster format. The collaboration between these institutions has allowed a greater understanding of the genetic knowledge of goats. The results confirm that these Peruvian Creole goats constitute a unique breed, highlighting the need for their conservation and more in-depth studies. In addition, a study was presented that reveals the genetic and population parameters of Creole bulls from southern Peru, also in oral presentation format. This work is carried out in collaboration between UNTRM, INIA, UNALM, Universidad Nacional San Cristóbal de ...
