Please join us for a webinar on natural resources genomics in support of Genome Canada’s Natural Resources Initiative. Speakers from Oxford Nanopore and the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics will share case studies in large genome assemblies for bird and fish systems through the Darwin Tree of Life programme, and microbiome and metagenomics applications through the Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database, showing how genomics can inform a wide range of questions across the field.

Key topics:

• Genomics applications in Natural Resources
• Genome Canada’s Natural Resources Initiative
• Case study: Scaling up comprehensive reference genome assemblies for birds and fish through the Darwin Tree of Life programme
• Case study: Biodiversity genomics and hidden microbial taxa in the Great Barrier Reef
• Q&A with the Speakers and Oxford Nanopore team
