1st Networking Seminar on Camel Genetics, Genomics and Phenotypic Assessment
Dear researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts in the field of camel genetics and genomics,
We are excited to share further details regarding the upcoming 1st Networking Seminar on Camel Genetics, Genomics and Phenotypic Assessment, organized by ICC-GIC (International Camel Consortium for Genetic Improvement and Conservation) under the auspice of ISOCARD (The International Society of Camelid Research and Development). This virtual event aims to strengthen scientific collaboration and foster global networking within the camel research community.
Registration: Now open! https://forms.gle/hFgchv4hC4RYLcmT8
Key Information:
o Seminar Themes:
§ Genetic diversity and conservation strategies in camels.
§ Advances in camel genomics and bioinformatics.
§ Phenotypic assessment methodologies.
§ Breeding strategies and environmental adaptation.
§ Application of genomic tools in camel research.
o Dates: The seminar will take place during the week of 23rd to 28th June 2025, in alignment with World Camel Day (22nd June). Exact dates will be confirmed in future communications.
o Format: Fully online and free of charge.
