Agri-Tech Week: Tackling the Agri challenge with genomics

  • November 12, 2016
  • 2:00 pm

8 November 2016

Earlham Institute, Norwich Research Park, Norwich, NR4 7UG

This event has now passed.

Earlham InstituteFind out how next generation sequencing technologies and high performance computing are being applied to answer the biological challenges of our time.

This session aimed to highlight the challenges faced by breeders, farmers and the wider industry, and how Earlham Institute open-source tools, databases and innovative in-field technologies are being developed to support them.

Open discussion was encouraged through questions from the audience relating to the panel discussion and any issues that it raises. Delegates were split into groups for parallel sessions which included: next-generation sequencing lab tour, high performance computing suite tour and poster presentations with selected research projects.

The evening was concluded by the interactive innovation workshop, led by Earlham Institute experts.

A focus on major themes and challenges promoted the sharing of key challenges and potential solutions including: new technology and accessibility, data storage and analysis, fast response to pests and disease, health of farm animals and the application of next-generation sequencing to crop breeding.

Through discussion of current problems and existing innovations, the groups will identify future goals and construct a ‘route map’ of how we can get there.
