North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has launched a genomic breeding tool for dairy cattle, also known as a gene chip, enabling precise screening for key traits such as high milk yield, high fertility, disease resistance and longevity, and marking a fresh breakthrough in China's dairy cattle breeding technology, the Inner Mongolia Daily reported on Saturday.
As an iteration of the previous generation dairy cattle breeding array, which holds proprietary intellectual property rights, the new-generation "Breeding No.2" breeding array was led by the National Center of Technology Innovation for Dairy and developed by Youran Dairy Saikexing, with upgrades in loci coverage, compatibility and gene-trait prediction algorithms.
The "Breeding No.2" breeding array covers about 50,000 loci across the dairy cattle genome, with a focus on functional loci tied to milk production, reproduction, disease resistance and length of productive life. It has achieved a sample call rate of 99.65 percent and a genotyping concordance rate of 99.91 percent for duplicate samples, and is compatible with mainstream international chips, allowing historical breeding data to be shared and reused.
Drawing on a phenotype database and genome resequencing data to optimize a proprietary algorithm, advancing breeding evaluation from qualitative screening to quantitative assessment, bringing the accuracy of breeding stock selection up to advanced international levels, according to the report.
The breeding array enables more precise genomic selection of calves at an early stage, substantially shortening the generation interval in breeding bull selection and cutting spending on raising low-performing replacement heifers. Compared with imported high-density chips, the "Breeding No.2" chip carries a lower per-sample testing cost and delivers stronger input-output returns, making it highly suited to large-scale dairy cattle breeding operations in China, the report said.

二 | LONDON -- The Guardian newspaper has fired longtime editorial cartoonist Steve Bell after refusing to run a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that critics said drew on antisemitic imagery.“The decision has been made not to renew Steve Bell’s contract,” the Guardian said.“Steve Bell’s cartoons have been an important part of the Guardian over the past 40 years — we thank him and wish him all the best,” publisher Guardian News and Media said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Thursday.Bell has contributed to The Guardian since 1983. Several of his hundreds of cartoons over the years have been accused of including anti-Jewish stereotypes. The latest cartoon, posted by Bell on social media, shows Netanyahu holding a scalpel and preparing to cut a Gaza-shaped incision in his abdomen, with the caption “Residents of Gaza, get out now.” It is labeled “after David Levine” and recalls a Vietnam War-era cartoon depicting U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson pointing at a Vietnam-shaped scar. American illustrator Levine drew inspiration from a photo of Johnson showing reporters his scar from gall-bladder surgery.Bell said he had been accused of evoking the “pound of flesh” demanded by the Jewish character Shylock in Shakespeare’s play “The Merchant of Venice.”He told industry newspaper the Press Gazette that “The Merchant of Venice” had “nothing to do with the cartoon.”“I don’t promote harmful antisemitic stereotypes. … Never have I done such a thing, I would not dream of doing such a thing,” the publication quoted him as saying.Britain has a long tradition of cartoons showing politicians in exaggerated and grotesque form. Bell has created some of the most indelible caricatures of recent British leaders, portraying former Prime Minister John Major wearing underpants over his trousers, Tony Blair with a demonic oversized eye and David Cameron with a condom over his head.。
