Genotyping-by-Sequencing and its applications in ecology and evolution
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 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, NeSI
Tuesday 11 June
9:00 am - 12:30 pm
