Workshop
From sequence to application
Monday, November 19, from 1pm
High-throughput sequencing is increasingly used for the development and implementation of genomic tools delivering outcomes for breeding, genetic diversity studies (e.g. inbreeding and co-ancestry) and population and conservation genetics. One of the bottlenecks using (low depth) sequencing data is appropriate data analysis tools. This workshop aims to present research using sequencing data and data analysis for different applications, including genetic diversity, breeding values, GWAS, linkage mapping, estimation of linkage disequilibrium, effective population size Ne, etc. The workshop is free. If you want to attend the workshop but not MapNet 2018, use the normal registration link and don’t select a conference registration.
