Clarke explains USDA project on RFD-TV

Nebraska’s Jennifer Clarke, director of the Quantitative Life Sciences Initiative, spoke with RFD-TV on Aug. 3.

Clarke is part of a new research effort, the USDA’s Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative. The project will bring together researchers from multiple institutions to better understand how a plant’s or animal’s genes affect its physical traits, or phenome, and how that relationship can benefit crops and livestock.
