Dear Peter, Victoria and Kate

As discussed, attached is a draft abstract, in which Fuyong, a student of Leluo Guan’s, has compared PCR amplicon and RNA sequencing data generated from Canadian bovine rumen contents.  This abstract will be submitted by Fuyong on February 12th 2014 for consideration at the ASAS conference. Faith, Peter and myself have been included as authors as some of the data were generated as part of the GRC project. The funding for this work was mainly Canadian-based. The NZ government will be acknowledged on the poster / presentation for the sequencing data provided as part of the GRC project. To the best of my knowledge, there is no IP associated with this work.

I’d appreciate if you could provide approval as soon as possible .

Gemma
