Image Project is featured in the latest edition of The Innovation Platform. The H2020 project aims to provide access to large amount of heterogenous data distributed across animal gene banks. #Horizon2020 | #genomicdata | #genetics | #animalscience innovationnewsnetwork.com/image-providin…

During the EFFAB Annual General Meeting, Image Project results were presented to 35 participants of the breeding industry, that are members of EFFAB and FABRE TP. #geneticdiversity #genebanks

Congratulations to the new doctor Harmen Doekes for this very remarkable work on the conservation of genetic diversity ! Well done ! First time for me being in a remote jury but Wageningen U&R are pros ! Image Project
