TGRM can be applied in all species for which there is control of breeding, with power to accommodate all key technical, logistical and cost issues, as well as practitioner attitudes.  Applications to date have involved use of DNA markers, IVF, embryo transfer, maintenance of genetic diversity, inbreeding, crossbreeding, targeting multiple market endpoints, animal migration, and maximisation of enterprise profit.

TGRM acts tactically, providing reports for direct action on semen, oocyte and embryo collection, use of DNA marker information, stock selections and mate allocations. TGRM has been developed as an integrated client/server system for delivery via the Internet, with associated benefits such as user support, automatic upgrading, software security, activity recording, and options for seamless interface to national databases.

UNE is responsible for handling the commercialisation process for TGRM outside Australia and New Zealand.  UNE seeks expressions of interest from individuals and organisations interested in commercial delivery and /or use of TGRM outside Australia and New Zealand.

Expressions can relate to one or more species, industries or organisations.  UNE is willing to consider different patterns of relationship withinterested parties.  Expressions should be sufficient to demonstrate interest, and to outline the scope of that interest, but need not be fully comprehensive at first.
