Abacusbio have asked for genetic parameters for methane related traits and I assume this also includes genetic correlations with other traits as part of a PGGRC project. The request is delightfully non-specific. While some material is published it is likely many of the key parameters are in the process of publication or not yet published. For instance they are likely to request parameters, such as relationships with adult traits that are only due to be reported by the end of June 2015. I have arranged a meeting this week to ask them exactly what they want and timeframe. Given that the material will include NZAGRC and GRA information I was informed by Peter Janssen this was the appropriate vehicle to record such a request.
