Genotyping-by-Sequencing and its applications in ecology and evolution

Tuesday June 11 2019 09:00 - 12-30 Seminar Room, Benham Building

Introduction

Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) in the broad sense has been revolutionising population genomics by bringing state of the art genomic technologies within reach of most researchers.

This Mini-symposium is open to everyone and will serve as an opening for a two day hands-on workshop introducing the practicalities of GBS. We are delighted to be able to present a range of talks from various departments and institutions connecting researchers across the country.

Organised by: Ludovic Dutoit and Alana Alexander

Supported by: The Department of Zoology @Otago, Genomic Aotearoa, The New Zealand eScience Infrastructure
