The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has developed world’s first complete parent-wise genome assembly called “NDDB ABRO Murrah” of riverine buffaloes.
This comes on the back of successful launch of INDUSCHIP, a customized genotyping chip for indigenous cattle and their crosses.
To ensure better accuracy, for the first time a trio binning was used for separating haplotypes of a buffalo, using a father-mother-offspring trio.
