How to know your GAB from your HTPG using GBS? Ask ICRISAT–CEG!

CEG is the Center of Excellence in Genomics, based at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Hyderabad, India. This is where the 11^th training course on Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies for Crop Improvement will be taking place from 17^th to 28^th November 2014.

The course will decipher the cryptic code above, with participants learning the essentials of deploying genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) for crop improvement, taking into account recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) including high-throughput genotyping (HTPG) approaches such as genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS).

• Target: Interested scientists who practice, or have the potential to deploy, molecular breeding 
• Application deadline: 25^th September 2014
