Expertise: |
Since 12 years, we have developed DNA methods for species identification in food samples. Further, we investigate the molecular diversity of cattle, sheep and goat breeds by microsatellite, AFLP and Y-chromosomal SNP analysis as basis for traceability at the breed level. Dr. J.A. Lenstra is member of the FAO/ISAG permanent committee on genetic diversity with responsibility of cattle genetic markers. He has coordinated the EU Resgen project on genetic diversity and of the European Cattle Genetic Diversity Consortiu and participated in the Econogene sheep and goat genetic diversity project and in the MolSpecID and Trace pEU projects on food traceability [] |
