1st Networking Seminar on Camel Genetics, Genomics and Phenotypic Assessment

The International Camel Consortium for Genetic Improvement and Conservation (ICC-GIC), under the auspices of the International Society of Camelid Research and Development (ISOCARD), organized the 1st Networking Seminar on Camel Genetics, Genomics, and Phenotypic Assessment.

This virtual event aligned with the objectives of the International Year of Camelids (IYC) by promoting scientific collaboration and advancing research in camel genetics and conservation. It fostered global knowledge exchange and strengthened scientific networks within the camel research community, ultimately contributing to sustainable camelid management and utilization.

The main themes of the seminar included:

• Genetic diversity and conservation strategies in camels.
• Advances in camel genomics and bioinformatics.
• Phenotypic assessment methodologies.
• Breeding strategies and environmental adaptation.
• Application of genomic tools in camel research.

This seminar served as a platform to highlight the critical role of genetics and genomics in ensuring the long-term sustainability of camel populations.
