Progress 04/15/19 to 04/14/21
Outputs
Target Audience: Animal genome researchers from the livestock, poultry, and aquaculture fields were reached through both the 37th Conference of the International Society for Animal Genetics and the interagency workshop on organismal sequencing, community resources and comparative genomics. Plant genome researchers were also reached at the comparative genomics workshop. Other genomics researchers were reached through the interactions among the steering committee of the comparative genomics workshop. In particular, the grant supported attendance at the events by scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? This project provided both national and international venues for early career investigators to network with researchers in their discipline, present results of their research, and receive feedback on their work. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? The conference and workshop provided the venue for participating researchers and students to share their findings in animal, plant, and comparative genomics via poster and oral presentations. A manuscript synthesizing the strategic vision for the discipline of genomics is under review. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
The 37th conference of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) was held in Lleida, Spain from July 7-12, 2019. The editorial board of the Animal Genetics journal evaluated abstracts and selected bursary recipients based on the quality oftheir scientific communication. There were 10 US trainees whose travel to present their research at ISAG was supported by funds from this project. The 38th conference of the International Society for Animal Genetics will be completely virtual from July 26-30, 2021. The virtual platform to faciltitate scientific presentations, including those by US trainees,was partially supported by this grant. Researchers submitted 330 abstracts for poster presentations from which the 22 ISAG standing committees have selected oral presentations. An NHGRI/NIH, NIFA/USDA, and NSF interagency workshop on Perspectives in Comparative Genomics and Evolution was held from August 15-16, 2019 in Bethesda, MD. Travel expenses for thirteen scientists from the animal and plant genomics research communities were supported from this project. The steering committee subsequently spent 12 months preparing an article synthesizing the strategic vision for the discipline based onoutcomes from the workshop.
