Overview

Ernst Kalm is affiliated with Kiel University in Germany and has contributed to research primarily in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Veterinary sciences. Their work focuses significantly on genetics and equine studies.

Their research topics cover:

  • Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock
  • Veterinary Equine Medical Research
  • Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals
  • Genetic diversity and population structure

Kalm has published several papers with a focus on genomic and genetic analysis of traits in German Warmblood horses. Key recent papers include:

  • "Genetic and genomic characterization followed by single-step genomic evaluation of withers height in German Warmblood horses," 2022, Journal of Applied Genetics
  • "Replacement of microsatellite markers by imputed medium-density SNP arrays for parentage control in German warmblood horses," 2022, Journal of Applied Genetics
  • "Genomic analyses of withers height and linear conformation traits in German Warmblood horses using imputed sequence-level genotypes," 2024, Genetics Selection Evolution

Ernst Kalm frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Jens Tetens, K.F. Stock, Wietje Nolte, Christa Kühn, and Georg Thaller. These collaborations have resulted in multiple joint publications in the Journal of Applied Genetics and Genetics Selection Evolution.

The scientist's work is consistently published in prominent venues such as the Journal of Applied Genetics and Genetics Selection Evolution, reflecting their research specialization.

In 2008, Kalm received the Distinguished Service Award from the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP).
