Reserve your virtual seat for the Simplot, Twist Bioscience and Curio Genomics Webinar hosted by ASAS from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM (Central Time), on Tuesday, December 8, 2026. In this webinar, Dr. Justin Buchanan will discuss "Delivering genomic predictions for bovine congestive heart failure at Simplot." Shawn Quinn from Curio Genomics will provide an opening overview and Paul Doran from Twist Bioscience will lead the Fireside Chat and Q&A with Dr. Buchanan.The webinar will discuss how bovine congestive heart failure (BCHF) has risen roughly 3.5-fold in U.S. feedlots since the early 2000s, and it tends to strike late in the feeding period, when cattle are worth the most. It is also heritable.
Building on previously published work (Buchanan et al. 2023), Dr. Buchanan will explain how Simplot is now delivering genomic predictions for BCHF after moving from microarrays to a higher-resolution, more cost-efficient NGS genotyping approach.
The webinar also includes a brief overview of the NGS workflow, a guided discussion, and audience Q&A.
