Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a major crop of agronomic importance as the predominant source of animal feed protein and cooking oil. Particular, it is more important in Asia. In the past several years, studies on soybean genomics achieved significant progress, which provide valuable resource for the functional analyses. Recently, many interesting work have gotten promising results. Big-data era is coming, which is important for dissecting the mechanism in biology. Big-data analysis needs the collaboration of experts from different areas. Therefore, a deep communication platform for soybean researcher is necessary. This workshop will focus on genomics and genetics in soybean research, which will provide a platform for the soybean researchers to communicate the latest progress and lead to potential collaboration in a worldwide.
