Description

~20 members of the British Grassland Society visited IBERS to discuss ongoing research projects. As part of a tour/discussion of the Translational Genomics Facility (administered by myself), they were presented with an overview of the aims/objectives of the GrassLandScape project and the scale of the NGS work involved, plus a layman's description of how the GBS method works. This was followed by an animated Q&A session and visitors remarked that the tour had been fascinating and of immense interest.
