Genome Database for Vaccinium Webinar August 19, 2021

Title: The Genome Database for Vaccinium (GDV: A Resource for Vaccinium Genetics, Genomics and Breeding Research

When: Thursday, 08/19/21, 10 – 11 AM Pacific Standard Time

Through: Zoom - see access information at bottom of this page.

Presenters: Drs. Jodi Humann, Sook Jung and Dorrie Main (Washington State University)

Abstract: The Genome Database for Vaccinium (GDV, www.vaccinium.org) is a community resource that integrates publicly available genetics, genomics, and breeding data for Vaccinium crops in a single online resource. In this introductory online seminar, we will provide an overview of GDV functionality and highlight how the data and tools can be used to enable basic, translational, and applied research in blueberry and cranberry. This will be the first in a series of webinars aimed at providing in-depth training on the use of GDV for the Vaccinium research community. Future webinars will provide more focused training on key aspects of the database. We will solicit feedback from the community on the effectiveness of the training and functionality of the database.
