CBI Bioinformatics Workshop Summary
A group of young graduate students, doctoral candidates and conservation professionals converged in Yaoundé in June 2017 with a common goal: to jump on the R bandwagon. Convinced that learning to run statistical packages in R would help further their research, they came to participate in the CBI Bioinformatics workshop from universities around Cameroon – […]
DNA sequencing technologies have advanced in such a way that individual researchers and research teams can generate large genomic and transcriptomic datasets quickly and relatively inexpensively. This increased accessibility of genome-scale data has made significant contributions to conservation by revealing cryptic species, identifying at-risk populations, quantifying genetic variation and identifying signatures of selection. However, the […]
The Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG) is currently leading a Global Ebony Assessment (GEA) which aims to assess and improve the conservation status of all Diospyros species worldwide. Among other objectives, GEA aims to complete red listing of the ebonies through a series of workshops and consultations with international timber organizations to assess the global exploitation […]
