Dissemination day held on the launch of GOCITRUS

BIOVEGEN participated on July 17 in the dissemination day of the GOCITRUS Operational Group that took place at the Casa de Cultura of Cartaya (Huelva).

The event was dedicated to publicly presenting the GOCITRUS project, whose objective is to generate molecular markers that help varietal identification and management that will serve as a seed to in the future create a technical unit supported by the Citruseq genomic database. BIOVEGEN participates in the GOCITRUS project in advisory, coordination and dissemination tasks of the consortium's progress.
