** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** IN ANIMAL GENOMICS, TWO TYPES OF FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS DATA, AT LEAST, ARE BEING GENERATED BY PUBLIC RESEARCH CONSORTIA OR PRIVATE INDUSTRY: (1) SNP-LEVEL FUNCTIONAL ANNOTATIONS, AND (2) INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL INTERMEDIATE OMICS DATA. AT THE SNP LEVEL, HIGHLY ANNOTATED GENOMES ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR MULTIPLE SPECIES. AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, INTERMEDIATE OMICS DATA (E.G., METABOLOMICS, TRANSCRIPTOMICS, AND OTHER OMICS DATA) ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE, AND GENERATING OMICS DATA IS NOW POSSIBLE FOR LARGE POPULATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS IN COMMERCIAL BREEDING PROGRAMS. WE WILL DEVELOP STATISTICAL METHODS AND COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHMS TO INCORPORATE FUNCTIONAL GENOMIC DATA GENERATED BY PUBLIC RESEARCH CONSORTIA OR PRIVATE INDUSTRY INTO GENOMIC EVALUATIONS.WE WIL DEVELOP STATISTICAL METHODS AND COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHMS TO INCORPORATE FUNCTIONAL GENOMIC DATA GENERATED BY PUBLIC RESEARCH CONSORTIA OR PRIVATE INDUSTRY INTO GENOMIC EVALUATIONS. FOR THAT, THE GENERATED METHODS AND ALGORITHMS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN ROUTINELY USED SOFTWARE.
