On behalf of the Biotechnology Commission of the International Society for Horticultural Sciences (ISHS), the convener and local organizing committee invite you to participate in a symposium devoted to Molecular Markers in Horticulture. The symposium will be held July 29 to August 1, 2009 at the Alumni Center located on the Oregon State University (OSU) campus in Corvallis, Oregon. Program Information: You are invited to submit papers on DNA-based markers, applications of next-generation sequencing and analytical tools and bioinformatics as they pertain to horticultural crops. You will tour the OSU CGRB Core Laboratory which provides services in genomics, functional genomics, biocomputing and bioinformatics and the USDA ARS Corvallis Genebank where molecular markers are used for managing world collections of hazelnut, pear and many berry crops. During the symposium, you will have an opportunity to explore the state of molecular marker science in 5 sections: 1. Plant Germplasm Identification and Characterization 2. Marker-assisted Breeding 3. Molecular Markers in Phylogenetics and Evolution 4. Analytical Approaches and Bioinformatics 5. Applications of Next-Generation Sequencing | ||
