NABC 28: A Growing Agricultural Genetic Tool Box: Applications for Plant and Animal Improvement.
The College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Science at Washington State University will hold the 28th annual conference of the North American Agricultural Biotechnology Council (NABC) at the Washington State University campus in Pullman Washington on June 1-2.
The conference—A Growing Agricultural Genetic Tool Box: Applications for Plant and Animal Improvement will focus on various technologies that are often associated with classical genetics that have over the last several years become much more powerful as a result of changes in information science, DNA sequencing and improvement of tools for phenotype determination.
The meeting will consist of six sessions focusing on various ways in which activities such as recording and manipulating information, generating and using variants, mapping genes, determining phenotypes are contributing to improved strategies for breeding and identifying plants and animals better suited for agriculture.
