DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide training around the experimental des
 ign and multiple applications of Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) in plants.
  In addition\, detailed computational analysis of GBS data and resources w
 ill be explored. Genomic analysis tools for GBS\, such as Tassel\, iPyrad\
 , STACKS\, as well as publicly available resources for plant data process 
 and application will we implemented during the workshop.\n\nThe analysis o
 f genomic variation is an essential part of plant genetics and crop improv
 ement programs. DNA polymorphisms can be directly related to phenotype dif
 ferences\, be genetically linked to its causative factor\, or indicate rel
 ationships between individuals in populations. Over the last years\, the u
 se of genotyping has enabled the characterization and mapping of genes and
  metabolic pathways in plants as well as the study of species diversity an
 d evolution\, marker-assisted selection (MAS)\, germplasm characterization
  and seed purity. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) is a high throughput meth
 od to identify and genotype\, at the same time\, molecular markers as part
  of breeding activities\, genetic mapping\, and population genomics. Anoth
 er advantage is that this method can be applied to organisms without refer
 ence genome and imputation of SNPs can be done as part of haplotype blocks
 . It was first published in 2011 and since then multiple crops have been i
 mproved including maize\, potato\, and rice.
