The 7th European Drosophila Population Genomics Consortium (DrosEU) workshop was held on 6-8 May 2018 at the Fondazione Edmund Mach di San Michele all’Adige, Trento, Italy.
The workshop was hosted by Omar-Rota Stabelli and featured updates from our scientific working groups as well as discussions about our planned phenotyping effort in 2019. On the second day of the workshop, a public session with scientific talks was held, which provided an opportunity for non-consortium members to learn about DrosEU.
Thanks! to all attendees!
