This live webinar, organised in collaboration with IGATech, will explore how Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is advancing plant genomics.
Through four innovative and insightful case studies, we’ll look at how technologies like WGS, ddRAD, and SPET are being used in crop improvement, genetic mapping, and genome editing.
From the complex genome of Coffea arabica to the SABER project’s tomato breeding work, and EdiVite’s CRISPR-based grapevine development — you’ll learn how NGS is reshaping plant science.
The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, where you can ask the presenters questions about their research and experience applying NGS.
Agenda:
- Introduction and overview of Illumina applications for Agrigenomics
