THE MEETING
Objective:
To foster discussion and share the latest advances in functional genomics, precision genetics, gene editing, and other new genomic techniques (NGTs) in aquaculture species.
About the Event:
This meeting is aimed at aquaculture industry producers, academic, researchers, genetic companies, and undergraduate and graduate students. It will take place in Puerto Varas, Chile, on November 19-20. The event will provide a platform for sharing knowledge on scientific, regulatory, and commercial aspects of genetic editing in aquaculture.
How to Participate:
For this event, you can submit your abstract, which will be reviewed by an academic committee, for the opportunity to present your work either orally or as a poster
