Subject: Symposium: A single-step toward the future
Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2025 12:05:05 -0600
Registration is now open for the "A single-step Toward the Future"
Symposium.
Check the details in the link below:
https://nce.ads.uga.edu/...the_future
This symposium is designed to be full of thought-provoking talks that
will help to blueprint a ten-year plan for future research in Animal
Breeding and Genetics. This involves the future of single-step genomic
evaluations, selection for complex traits like mortality/morbidity and
resilience/robustness, possible negative effects of genomic selection,
and other relevant topics. Discussions will also involve experiences with
machine learning for phenotype and breeding value predictions, high
throughput phenotypes, gene editing, and sequence data. Speakers will be
from academia and industry
The symposium will celebrate Ignacy Misztal’s career and achievements in
Animal Breeding and Genetics as he takes his first step toward spending
more time on his hobbies and less time at the University of Georgia.
