The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) will host a 21-day winter school on genetic and genomic tools for sustainable aquaculture and fisheries management from January 15.
The programme aims to equip scientists and faculty members with the latest knowledge and techniques on a range of areas, including genome decoding of marine organisms.
The training targets young researchers in sustainable fisheries management tools and will offer insights into genetic variation within species and populations, which are crucial for their ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
It will cover topics such as molecular barcoding, population genetics, genomics, metabarcoding, software packages in genetics, next generation sequencing and transcriptomics, says a press release from CMFRI here on Wednesday.
The training will provide participants with a deep understanding of the latest advancements in genetic and genomic tools, enabling them to apply the knowledge to practical challenges in fisheries management and conservation of ocean resources.
CMFRI will cover travel and accommodation costs for all participants. Applications for the Winter School are open until January 1, 2025. For details check CMFRI website: www.cmfri.org.in.
