Dear All,
Wish you a very Happy New Year – 2017!
Like earlier years, we are organizing Genomics-Assisted Breeding workshop in the PAG XXV conference as mentioned below. We have a panel of eminent speakers in our workshop.
I would like to request you to kindly block your calendar for the same and participate in the workshop.
I am looking forward to seeing you in San Diego.
Many thanks and kind regards
Rajeev
