| Description | This was a travel grant to Brazil to establish a collaboration between labs in Sao Paolo and Roslin. This was achieved and led to a grant application in the BBSRC-FAPESP scheme. |
| Exploitation Route | This was a grant to establish contacts, so useful for others. |
| Sectors | Agriculture, Food and Drink |
| Description | This grant application was to establish contacts between labs in Roslin and Sao Paolo, this was achieved. This also led to a joint grant application to BBSRC-FAPESP scheme. |

| PI Contribution | Dr Almas Gheyas made a visit to SP, discussed research plans for a grant application to BBSRC "Dissecting the genetic regulatory architecture of gene expression in the chicken genome." We led to a submission to BBSRC, with particular focus on genomics and gene expression analyses. |
| Collaborator Contribution | SP led the animal part of the BBSRC submission "Dissecting the genetic regulatory architecture of gene expression in the chicken genome." |
| Impact | Submitted BBSRC grant "Dissecting the genetic regulatory architecture of gene expression in the chicken genome." genomics, genetics, animal science. |
