Overview

With the ongoing heated debate on GM crops, Select Biosciences has invited a range of thought leaders to share their perspective on the unique aspects of technology required to enhance the aesthetics, yield, nutrition and disease resistance of varying crops. The next generation of epigenetics, microarrays and sequencing techniques will be discussed with reference to fascinating current research.

Other conference tracks at this event include RNAi & miRNA, Advances in qPCR and Epigenetics. Registered delegates will have access to all four meetings ensuring a very cost-effective trip.

In addition the event will also host a cutting edge training course and two business tutorials.

Agenda Topics

Disease resistance in livestock
Enhancing plant resistance to disease
Genetic engineering to increase yield from livestock
Optimisation of growth for food and biofuel
RNA silencing mechanisms in plants
