About the Webinar
In this webinar and live panel discussion, hear how experts in the genome assembly space are utilizing chromosome-scale genome assemblies to advance their research in conservation, evolutionary biology, translational research and beyond.
Key Takeaways
- Learn how cutting-edge sequencing and computational methods allow researchers to reconstruct genomes of any complexity, and what this means for human health and biodiversity
- Hear about case studies from the Vertebrate Genomes Project, and how the availability of many genomes opens the door to new opportunities for biological research
- Get a glimpse into the evolutionary genomics of Brenthis fritillary butterflies! Learn how genome assemblies help researchers understand the mode and tempo of chromosome evolution in this genus
