Innovative Management of Animal Genetic Resources
Abstract
The aim of IMAGE is to enhance the use of genetic collections and to upgrade animal gene bank management. IMAGE will further develop genomic methodologies, biotechnologies, and bioinformatics for a better knowledge and exploitation of animal genetic resources . The ultimate goal of the project is to demonstrate the benefits brought by gene banks to the development of more sustainable livestock farming systems, in particular by: • Enhancing the usefulness of genetic collections to allow the livestock sector to respond to new environmental constraints and market needs • Minimising genetic accidents such as abnormalities or genetic variability tipping points; • Optimising complementarity between ex-situ and in-situ conservation to maximise resources for the future; • Making use of the latest developments in DNA technology and reproductive physiology in collecting, storing and using biological resources IMAGE focusses on genetic collections in gene banks (ex situ in vitro) rather than on live population management (in situ in vivo). However, the synergy between gene banks and live population management is a crucial issue that will be addressed by the project.
