![]() ![]() Because of its comprehensive coverage of likely causal mutations, OMIA is becoming the standard reference for commercial genotyping companies, enabling them to keep up to date with newly-discovered mutations, especially in the major domesticated animal species, for which they can offer a DNA test. OMIA has tracked and recorded the impressive increase in the rate of discovery of causal mutations of traits (mainly disorders) in all the species it encompasses, since the very first discovery (in rabbits) in 1986. The only animals not included are species such as mice and rats, which have their own databases.Įxample of some of the exotic entries in OMIA: The vast majority of OMIA entries are for the major domesticated animals, such as dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and goats. There are even two entries for woolly mammoth! (based on DNA analysis of preserved bone fragments). ![]() OMIA covers more than 3,500 traits from achondroplasia to yellow-semen syndrome, across more than 250 species from agile gibbon to zebra finch. Twenty-five years later, OMIA continues to provide researchers, veterinarians and breeders from more than 150 countries with up-to-date summary information on all the known harmful and beneficial mutations in animals, together with background information on all known inherited disorders and beneficial traits, including those for which causal mutations have not yet been discovered. ![]() This was a few months before the University's first official website was launched in October 1995. Starting as a mainframe database in 1980 called Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (MIA), the online version (OMIA) was launched as an open-access web-based resource on 26 May 1995. Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) is an online database, freely available to anyone in the world, created and curated in the Sydney School of Veterinary Science, within the University of Sydney, by Emeritus Professor Frank Nicholas, assisted by local and international colleagues. Frank Nicholas, founder and curator of OMIA Video 3 - Full talk (~50 min) about Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) by E.Prof. Video 2 - Short summary (~6min) of Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) by E.Prof. Frazer Allan, Head of School and Dean, Sydney School of Veterinary Science, The University of Sydney Submit your 4-H Stock Talks presentation.On 26 May 2020, a virtual celebration of OMIA’s 25 birthday will be hosted by the Sydney School of Veterinary Science by releasing three YouTube videos: Cloverbud live animal entries must follow Cloverbud rules and have an adult or responsible youth leader in control of the animalįor help creating, filming and submitting your stock talk, consult this 4-H Stock Talks 2022 resource.Videos should use only original material and obey copyright laws.4-H members should introduce themselves only by first name and county in the video.The presentation should be entered under the oldest member's age division. 4-H members may team up in a presentation.Presentations can be filmed as one continuous shot or can be edited to include slides, music, titles, etc.Please follow these guidelines when preparing your stock talk: Submissions will be evaluated on the following criteria: Keeping your video focused and moving will greatly help to keep your audience engaged. Research has shown that audiences tend to drop off significantly when videos exceed 4-5 minutes in length. When planning your presentation, keep your video to a reasonable length. ![]()
