NOAA Fisheries: 2020 Groundfish Seminar Series

Wes Larson, Alaska Fisheries Science Center

Genomics, Transcriptomics, and eDNA – OH MY! How can advances in
these fields help answer your crab and groundfish research questions?

The genomic revolution has
prompted major advances in
genetics research that can be
leveraged to answer myriad
questions relating to
conservation and
management of natural
resources. In this talk we will
provide an overview of some
of these advances and discuss
the ways they may be applied
to address topics related to
groundfish management and
the AFSC mission. We hope to
provide a roadmap that will
give non-geneticists guidance
on when genomics
approaches might be useful to
pursue and how to integrate
these methods into their
research programs.
