The Conifer Translational Genomics Network is offering a short-course entitled "Genomics in Tree Breeding and Forest Ecosystems".

The workshop is an intensive 5-day (approx 40 hr) short-course, with topics organized into 10 modules, two modules presented each day. The workshop will provide a detailed overview of genomics-based (e.g. MAS and MAB) breeding strategies in forestry, while maintaining sufficient breadth to be attractive to students and researchers in the more general arena of forest ecosystems.

Further information including an outline of the course content is available on the main workshop page.

Interested persons are requested to submit application documents online by March 15^th, 2009. Successful applicants will be notified by April 1^st, 2009 with additional instructions for completing the registration process.
