Symposium Spotlight
Educating the Next Generation of
Poultry Scientists on Bioinformatics
Chair: Steven C. Ricke
Monday, July 20, 2020 at 2:30 PM CST
Bioinformatics is rapidly emerging as a tool to poultry scientists. Big data is a not only a significant buzz term, but the endless potential of such incredible data sets is rapidly emerging as a keystone piece of information that we must all have for the future of our fields. Unfortunately, there are numerous barriers to successfully implementing bioinformatics as a component of a research program. Issues like data security, bioinformatics options, and how to communicate data to both professional scientists and the public are all significant issues that new poultry scientists, professionals must grasp. Therefore, the purpose of this symposia is to fully discuss the use of big data from collection to final analysis.
