For decades the world’s genebanks have conserved genetic diversity and supplied stakeholders with the raw materials of basic research and breeding. Recent development of next generation gene discovery tools together with associated phenotypic and genotypic datasets based on genebank foundations have opened completely new opportunities for the interrogation of genebank resources, for the delivery of new and useful genetic variation to agriculture. This conference will highlight these exciting developments and map out next steps for the genetic resources community.
Sessions will include:
Genebank data analysis and accessibility
Genebank genomics
Genebank phenomics
Tools for genetic dissection
New directions
Invited speakers include:
Simon Griffiths (John Innes Centre UK)
Noam Chayut (Germplasm Resource Unit UK)
Nigel Maxted (University of Birmingham UK)
Andreas Boerner (IPK Gatersleben Genebank DE)
Tom Payne (CIMMYT Genebank MX)
Etienne Paux (INRA Clermont Ferrand FR)
Amanda Burridge (University of Bristol UK)
Rob Davey (Earlham Institute UK)
Sean May (University of Nottingham UK)
Joanne Russel (James Hutton Institute UK)
