  • It's #NationalBeerLoversDay! What are the secrets behind your favorite beer? Next generation sequencing and microbes may be the answer to a great beer with just the right flavor, consistency, aroma, and color. It's all in the yeast – the microbe that makes grain, hops, and water into beer! #Genomics

  • For more than 50 years, Groupement Agricole d’Exploitation en Commun (GAEC) des Peupliers, a 110-hectare farm, has graced the banks of the Loire River between the cities of Nantes and Angers. Antoine Charrier, the coproprietor of the farm, is a fourth-generation cattle breeder with a herd of 50 Holsteins and another herd of 50 Charolais. Farming has changed dramatically in the past few decades. “To support a family, my grandfather had 20–30 animals,” the 55-year-old farmer said. “My parents’ generation was expected to produce a bit more. To support even one person today, we need at least 50 cows.” In the past, farmers worked independently to produce food for their families and the local area. However, the demands on Charolais farmers are higher today and they are expected to produce more than their predecessors for export. “There are more people to feed and fewer farmers,” Charrier said. “So, we have had to adapt. Our farms are bigger and there is more livestock on each farm.” Advances in technology, particularly in the field of genomics, can now help farmers like Charrier keep up with today’s demands by genotyping information to manage the growth of his herd. #genomics #cattle #farming
