The University of California, Davis, Seed Biotechnology Center is hosting its 7th Breeding with Genomics class on Feb. 16-18, 2016. This year, the course will host hands-on workshops on software support to marker application in breeding programs including the Integrated Breeding Platform and BLUPs.
The program is aimed at professionals who are directly or indirectly involved in plant breeding and germplasm improvement. It is an opportunity for breeders who are already using these tools to expand their knowledge of new strategies and technologies and for laboratory personnel to appreciate how the marker data that they generate are applied in breeding programs.
The early-bird registration is available until Dec. 15, 2015. For further information please visit http://sbc.ucdavis.edu/Courses/Breeding_with_Genomics/ or contact Sally Mohr (sjmohr@ucdavis.edu).
