Dear All,
Wish you a very Happy New Year - 2018!
Like earlier years, we are organizing Genomics-Assisted Breeding
workshop in the PAG XXVI 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 all in San Diego.
Many thanks and kind regards
Rajeev
