Our genome determines some physical traits – like eye color – but what can it tell us about our health? @PurdueAgronomy & @PurdueANSC researchers are exploring if techniques used for testing plant and animal genetics could be adapted for the human genome. purdue.edu/research/features…

One Health: Using cross-species genomic analyses to track population health - Research at Purdue

A new project at Purdue University will investigate whether techniques developed to test traits in animal and plant genetics might be adapted to explore such questions in the human genome.
