Genetics experts focus on salmon leap forward

The fourth International Conference on Integrative Salmonid Biology (ICISB) is running over three days and is being held at the Royal College of Surgeons.

The theme of ICISB 2019 is Beyond the genome: taking leaps forward in salmonid biology, which organisers say reflects the recent staggering progress in genomic resource development and exploitation since the Atlantic salmon reference genome was published in 2016.
