DNA Certified Beef Programs
MMI Genomics, Inc.(MMIG), a wholly owned subsidiary of MetaMorphix® Inc., has developed superior technology to track cattle throughout the food production chain both simply and cost-effectively. The first application of this technology is MMIG’s DNA Certified Beef Program, an integrated food source management system that utilizes patented DNA-tags and tagging devices to provide the ultimate in source verification from producer to consumer. DNA-based sampling and storage enhances the value of beef, by providing the cattle industry with the ability to establish and build consumer confidence in food source and quality.

Horned-Polled Diagnostics
Genomic research efforts at MMI Genomics have led to the discovery of a homozygous Polled Diagnostic assay for use in cattle. MMIG’s proprietary diagnostic assay will allow breeders to make earlier and more informed selection decisions on young bull calves enabling them to enhance their quality polled genetic programs. The diagnostic assay is currently undergoing field trials and should be released commercially in the Summer of 2004.
