7th International Agrogene Seminar: 'Genomics and the new molecular tools'
February 25-26, 1999 - Paris - FRANCE

New molecular tools coming from the genome analysis (mapping, sequencing, mutagenesis, DNA chips.) now allow the use of a large amount of information.

AGROGENE 7th seminar is organised as a meeting place around talks about genomics and new molecular tools of worldwide scientists :

* Perspectives,
* Techniques,
* Bioinformatics,
* Applications.

Besides the scientific talks, the schedule reserves a large place for discussions. In parallele, an exhibition will present some of the latest equipments and services.
