| Training Workshop 2015 Vienna, Austria |  |
The third training workshop was held in Vienna, Austria from 11th – 12th Mar. 2015. The theme was "Bioinformatic and trees". Eight invited speakers from Europe, Canada and the USA, and about 32 participants on an average/day attended this event. The audience comprised of project members, local researchers and students. Due to advancements in next generation sequencing there is a flood of data that needs special computing to give meaningful information for application in various fields of biology especially breeding and genotype-environment interactions. This workshop brings together advancements in bioinformatics, its applications as well as shortcomings.
