Initiated in 2005, MapNet is an collective of NZ-based researchers from organisations involved in gene mapping. Organisations represented include Plant and Food Research, University of Otago, AgResearch, Scion (NZ Forest Research Ltd), ViaLactia BioSciences, Livestock Improvement Corporation, and the University of Auckland. This encompasses most gene mapping research undertaken in New Zealand. Other (New Zealand) organisations are most welcome to participate. A key driver for MapNet is to co-ordinate scientists from disparate sectors working with common technologies to foster the development of multidisciplinary and cross-sector teams. Mapnet holds an annual workshop to share research findings and the 2010 meeting will be held in conjunction with QMB.
Organisers will be Phil Wilcox and Emily Telfer from Scion.
