Subject: GRC and GRS on QUANTITATIVE GENETICS AND GENOMICS
Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2018 07:22:04 -0600
GRC and GRS on QUANTITATIVE GENETICS AND GENOMICS
Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Quantitative Genetics and Genomics
February 10-15, 2019 – registration deadline 13 January 2019
Gordon Research Symposium (GRS) on Quantitative Genetics and Genomics
February 9-10, 2019 – registration deadline 12 January 2019
Come to Il Ciocco Tuscany - Italy and hear the latest unpublished
research on quantitative genetics and genomics. The program covers a
wide range of topics and wonderful invited speakers (see the program
below). The theme of the 2019 GRC is “The Use of Big Data in Quantitative
Genetics”, and that for the 2019 GRS (2 day seminar for students and
postdocs before the main GRC) is “Opportunities Offered by Big Data in
Quantitative Genetics and Genomics: Methods, Insights and Future
Directions”, timely topics for all research in biological sciences in
this data-driven age. The focus of the conference is as much on the
collection and appropriate use of data, as it is on the mathematical
models one can employ on the data to extract biologically relevant
information.
The GRC on Quantitative Genetics and Genomics is unusual in that it
brings together scientists working on humans, crops, livestock and other
species. Gordon conferences are also unusual in that unpublished research
is presented and there is ample time for discussion both in the sessions
and outside of them.
In the two days leading to the GRC, the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)
gives graduate students and post-docs an opportunity to share their
research, interact with each other, and engage in discussions on career
and life in quantitative genetics in a mentoring session with senior
scientists. Speaker abstracts are due 9 November – all attendees of the
GRS will be able to present their work in oral or poster presentations,
please send in abstracts with your applications!
