New bioinformatics resources from The International Cannabis Genome Research Consortium
The International Cannabis Genome Research Consortium (ICGRC) has taken up the task of providing an authoritative source of rigorous and peer-reviewed scientific information relating to Cannabis genetics, genomics and phenotyping. Just out in GigaByte are papers presenting two of these outputs, the CannSeek database bringing together the many genomics datasets, and a community-driven bioinformatics platform to facilitate Cannabis multi-omics research. The papers promoting these resources, providing details on how to use them, and most importantly providing insight into how they were put together. To provide even more insight we are hosting an online seminar with the authors of these papers. Providing an opportunity to get firsthand insight from the authors on why these platforms are important, how you can use them, and the technical details on how they were developed. Also providing an opportunity to ask directly questions to them directly.
