Use genomic evaluation to accelerate genetic gain and improve breeding accuracy
AbacusBio Consultants
AbacusBio wants you to benefit from the power of genomics. Genomics can accelerate breeding cycles, improve selection accuracy, increase genetic gain, and increase profitability through identifying high-performing agricultural products.
Genomic Breeding Strategy
Our experienced geneticists can build strategies and design robust frameworks that leverage advanced genomic technologies, to optimise your breeding programmes and to ensure your investment in genomics is demonstrating a high rate of return.
Genomic Readiness
Genomics has transformed plant and animal breeding. But it is not without challenges: the need for infrastructure, technology, specialised expertise, integration with phenotypic data, lack of reference panels, and cost of genotyping are just a few. To ensure efficient use of resources, AbacusBio can assess your readiness to integrate genomics into your breeding programme and create a custom roadmap, detailing your steps towards a genomics-driven future.
Genomic Evaluation Pipeline
Transform the way you approach genetic improvement with our genomic evaluation services. AbacusBio builds comprehensive genomic evaluation pipelines tailored to the unique needs of any animal and plant breeding industry. We tailor our approach, depending on the data you have available, the most appropriate models and software to analyse that data. Rates of genetic improvement can be expedited with data-driven selection decisions, removing the risks associated subjective selection. Our expert team offers expertise on data collection, processing, and analysis, enabling our clients to effectively standardise their breeding approach across species, geographies, and production systems.
Routine GBLUP and GEBV
AbacusBio takes the work out of routinely calculating Genomic Estimated Breeding Values (GEBVs) off your shoulders. We can design (see other sections) and run routine genomic evaluation pipelines that meet your needs in terms of timeliness, routine validation, information requirements and selection cycles. Our expertise ensures that your genetic evaluation is overseen by the best, while you get on with independently making informed breeding decisions with confidence.
Cross Prediction (Plants only)
Built and ready for customisation – Our cross-prediction pipeline allows you to predict the performance of breeding candidates when crossed as parents, before you invest in costly breeding activities. Therefore, you can focus time and resources on the most promising crosses.
Hybrid Prediction (Plants only)
High-performing hybrids don’t happen overnight, but our hybrid prediction pipeline can get you there faster. Like our cross-prediction service, our hybrid-prediction pipeline is ready to be tailored to your needs. We help identify the best parental combinations for creating hybrid crops before you allocate time and resources to breeding activities.
