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.
