Symposium
The Genetics Program offers an annual symposium; usually based on the topic of one of the Genetics 800 seminar courses offered that year. Five or six nationally prominent researchers in the topic of study are brought to campus for a one day event.
The Plant Breeding &
Genetics Graduate Programs at MSU
present a symposium on
Transposable Elements and Genome Evolution
Friday, December 8
10:00 am - 5:00 pm, A155 Plant and Soil Sciences Bldg, Michigan State University.
