PhD student (SRUC based) Image During my master studies of Quantitative Genetics and Genome Analysis at the University of Edinburgh I have gained the knowledge of animal breeding and genetics theory. This knowledge, alongside with its practical application is further expanded at my work in EGENES where I am responsible for the UK national evaluations for livestock. This work included preparing and changing the pipeline for national genetic evaluation, starting of including new breeds or new traits, through estimation of genetic parameters and creating/assessing genetic models, ending with modelling indexes which fit the breeders needs. I am competent in resolving dataset issues as well as performing QA on datasets including millions of records. Additionally, during my ongoing PhD I work to develop genomic breeding values for the UK Texel sheep breed, which include the work with genotypes. I am also a proficient user of SQL, ASReml and MiX99, which I use daily. My programming skills includes the knowledge of Fortran and R. This article was published on 2024-09-02
