Kurser för doktorander och postdocs
SLU Nätverk växtförädling och avel anordnar eller stödjer en till två kurser per år för doktorander och postdocs och i mån av plats även för andra SLU-forskare. Kurserna hålls online eller dem ambulerar mellan Umeå, Uppsala och Alnarp.
Genome-wide predictions in plant breeding: genotype-phenotype associations and genomic selection
About the course
This course has been designed for PhD students in the Organismal Biology Research School, in collaboration with the SLU Breeding Network. Experts in plant breeding at our university collaborate to answer: (1) how to associate phenotypes and genotypes, and (2) how to accelerate marker-assisted selection in the era of high throughput genome sequencing. Along this course, students will be able to review basic principles of association mapping, study in detail the bioinformatic methods available today, and do extensive hands-on work on pre-designed examples.
When
