Animal Germplasm Resources Information Network (A-GRIN)
<p>Animal genetic resources underpin the livestock sector's production and profitability. As a result livestock industries contribute billions of dollars to national economies. The Animal Germplasm Resources Information Network (A-GRIN) mission is to acquire, evaluate and preserve these strategic resources so that industry and the research community can have access to a broad array of genetic variability for: national security, introduction of genetic variation, corrective breeding, and various research initiatives. There are three major technical components:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Information Systems</strong> to better understand genetic diversity in the collection of germplasm and live populations.</li> <li><strong>Genetic Evaluation</strong> - understanding genetic diversity for the collection of germplasm and live populations.</li> <li><strong>Cryobiology</strong>, the discipline that enables the program to store gametes and various tissues at ultra-low temperatures (about -196°C).</li> </ul> <p>In addition this program interacts with a wide range of livestock producers, researchers, and various industry representatives.

<p>Animal genetic resources underpin the livestock sector's production and profitability. As a result livestock industries contribute billions of dollars to national economies. The Animal Germplasm Resources Information Network (A-GRIN) mission is to acquire, evaluate and preserve these strategic resources so that industry and the research community can have access to a broad array of genetic variability for: national security, introduction of genetic variation, corrective breeding, and various research initiatives. There are three major technical components:</p>
