Genetic Visions, Inc., tests DNA from cattle to identify genes
influencing production traits, hair color and animal health and viability. Alterations
in the composition of DNA provide "genetic markers". A genetic marker
associated with a trait of interest can be used in cattle breeding programs as a
selection tool.
Genetic Visions, Inc., was formed in 1988 as the research arm of
Tri-State Breeders, known today as
Accelerated Genetics. This subsidiary corporation, wholly owned by Accelerated Genetics, is located in Middleton, Wisconsin.
Concentrated research efforts began in 1986 with Dr. C. Michael Cowan, General Manager
of Genetic Visions, Inc., working in conjunction with researchers
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
