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
