Wageningen, The Netherlands
February 3, 2009
 On
20 and 21 April 2009, Wageningen UR
will organise the 13th QTL-MAS workshop. At this international
meeting, European scientists from institutes, academic hospitals
and plant and animal breeding companies will elaborate on the
dissection of the genetic architecture of complex quantitative
traits.
The annual QTL-MAS workshops present the latest mathematical and
statistical methods for the analysis of molecular marker data
and marker-assisted selection in plant and animal breeding
programmes. The interaction between molecular and statistical
scientists and animal and plant breeders has created a
productive platform that offers practical improvements to
breeding programmes.
Key topics at the 2009 edition of the workshop are genome-wide
association studies, complex cross-breeding programmes and
context dependencies. The workshop is co-organised by Biometris
and Wageningen UR Plant Breeding.
