This workshop will consist of three sessions roughly organized as follows:
8:00-11:00 Session One: Strategies and Resources for Tree Breeding
11:15-12:30 Session Two: Population Genetics and Comparative Genomics
2:00-4:00 Session Three: Genome Assembly and Characterization
4:00pm Session Four: Discussion
The majority of time in each session will be dedicated to 20 minute presentations (18 minutes, plus 2 minutes for questions).
