Animal Disease Genomics: Opportunities and Applications
9th - 12th June 2008, Edinburgh, UK
EADGENE held their 4th annual meeting on Animal Genomics Research from 9th - 12th June 2008 in Edinburgh, UK. This 4-day event focussed on the latest genetics and genomics research in the field of farm animal health, through a 2-day conference which was preceded and followed by a series of satellite workshops and meetings. The conference featured a series of presentations by keynote speakers and leading specialists in their fields which updated delegates on the latest animal genomics research. It also included a joint session with the Med-Vet-Net Network of Excellence.
