Introduction to the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative

The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable will host a webinar on the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI), supported by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The program aims to assemble a transdisciplinary research community of scientists from crop and livestock sciences, genetics, genomics, computational and data sciences, and engineering to better understand, predict, and develop phenotypes for agricultural products in the name of improving the efficiency and resilience of U.S. agriculture.

During this webinar, Patrick Schnable, distinguished professor at Iowa State University (ISU), director of ISU’s Plant Sciences Institute, and the PI for AG2PI, will discuss the priorities of the initiative, the ways in which it will develop and foster connection across communities of practice, and how to get involved. 

This webinar is free and open to the public.
