Lead scientists in Hypor, the pig breeding division of Hendrix Genetics, have teamed up with Hendrix Genetics' new Genomics Laboratory to develop an innovative and effective program of genomic selection. Hypor is the first to have implemented this technology within existing breeding programs for the pig industry, and is creating new opportunities in genetic development that integrate BLUP and a greater understanding into DNA composition.

　　海波尔（Hypor）种猪公司的科学家们已经联合其总部汉德克斯（Hendrix）遗传育种公司自己的基因组实验室联手开发一种创新及有效的基因组选择技术方案。海波尔是养猪行业中第一个在现流行的育种技术中采用该新技术的种猪公司；通过结合BLUP技术和更彻底地了解DNA结构顺序，在遗传育种发展过程中创造更多的机会。

　　The Genomics Laboratory is Hendrix Genetics' own leading-class Research & Development centre situated in France; a central location dedicated to the global molecular DNA work for all divisions across Hendrix Genetics. For Hypor, blood and tissue samples are taken from their own and their customers pigs, and are shipped back to the lab, where DNA is extracted and stored in a BioBank. Following analysis and genotyping, Hypor geneticists, utilize this information to accelerate their own breeding programs and their customer's breeding programs.

　　这个基因组实验室是汉德克斯遗传育种公司自身领先的一流研发中心，坐落在法国。这是一个致力于为汉德克斯遗传育种公司所有部门进行全球分子研究工作的中心点。对于海波尔，在全球自己的核心场和客户的猪场采集猪血和组织样品，并送到该实验室进行DNA提取，然后存放在生物基因库。根据对样品的分析和基因分型，海波尔的科学家们利用这些信息对自己核心场和客户场开展和执行遗传育种工作，加快了遗传育种进展速度。

　　“By centralizing all molecular DNA work, we are also bringing together all expertise and knowledge that has been built up across all our species. For Hypor this will bring an added value to their breeding programs and will open doors for future developments much faster. As a team we combine and direct individual accomplishments towards our organizational goals” says Pieter van As, Molecular Geneticist of the Research & Technology Centre and Manager of the Genomics Laboratory.

　　通过把所有的分子DNA工作集中在一起，把我们公司各种不同物种的育种技术和经验能有效地结合和加以利用。对于海波尔，这将对现在的育种程序带来附加值，并为将来快速发展敞开了大门。Pieter 是Hendrix研发中心的分子遗传学家和基因组实验室主任；他说：作为一个团队，我们把个人直接成就和公司目标结合在一起。

　　For Hypor, the Genomics Laboratory is a crucial success factor in the routine execution of the Genomic Breeding Program. Already, all DNA samples of the different nucleus farms around the world are shipped and processed centrally within the Genomics Laboratory in France. With the Laboratory's enhanced capabilities, Hypor and Hendrix Genetics are set to extend the possibilities of genetic breeding.

　　对于海波尔公司，在日常执行的基因组育种计划方案中基因组实验室是一个关键的成功因素。目前，海波尔全球所有核心场的DNA样品都已经送到并存放在法国基因组实验室。随着实验室的能力不断增强，海波尔和汉德克斯遗传育种集团公司将在遗传育种工作中取得更大的成就。
