NHGRI Proposal for Whole Genome Sequencing
The International Equine Gene Mapping Workshop began in 1995 and is conducted by the Dorothy Russell Havemeyer Foundation. In 1997 the Horse Technical Committee of the National Research Sponsored Projects-8 (NRSP-8) of the United States Department of Agriculture National Animal Genome Research Program (USDA-NAGRP) was formed. These programs work in concert to foster international collaboration in the field of horse genomics.

These pages describes resources for genomics research as well as some of the accomplishments by scientists working on horse genomics. This work is supported, in part, by funds from the USDAS-CSREES National Animal Genome Research Program through National Research Sponsored Projects-8 (NRSP-8) and the Dorothy Russell Havemeyer Foundation, Inc.
