A recent Mason research project, titled “Haplotype Analysis from Bovine Genotype Data,” is to determine precisely how various breeds are different on the genetic level. There are more than 800 recognized breeds of cattle and different breeds have been developed to thrive under a variety of environmental conditions.

At its Sept. 29 Meeting, the George Mason University Board of Visitors approved the creation of the School of Systems Biology within the College of Science. The School results from the merger of the Department of Molecular and Microbiology and the Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
Dean Vikas Chandhoke of the College noted that "this new structure positions us to pursue a broader academic agenda that will address the intellectual needs of our students and allows us to develop the interdisciplinary advantage that is a hallmark of modern scientific education and research."
