Basics of Genomic Selection 9. Computational Aspects and Implementation
Other | 29/9/2021
Abhishek Rathore (ICRISAT) presents the current state of tools for data management and genomic prediction available at ICRISAT and national programs in India. Abhishek presents a path to the proper implementation of data management tools that ensures the successful deployment of GS in breeding programs. Case examples of crops adopting these systems and their current state are also presented.
