This is a hands-on workshop on software support for marker application in breeding programmes, including the Integrated Breeding Platform and BLUPS.
The course 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 programmes.
Course topics will include:
A laptop is mandatoryfor the computer lab portion of this course. Once registration is complete, the participant will be sent some links for programs which will have to be loaded to their computer prior to the course.
