In a world first, a team of international scientists led by CSIRO has constructed a virtual map of the genome of the sheep. The ‘virtual sheep genome’, a physical DNA map of more than 98 per cent of the sheep genome, will be made publicly available by CSIRO this week. It contains the ‘best bet’ about where the sheep’s vast amount of hereditary information can be found on its 26 chromosomes. |

A new method for designing insecticides could produce chemicals which are deadly to specific pests yet harmless to other species. A partnership between CSIRO and Australian Wool Innovation is on the way to discovering new environmentally-friendly insecticides. Safer insecticides targeting sheep blowflies and sheep body lice are being developed to save the wool industry millions of dollars in lost stock, while promoting a clean green image for wool. |
