This symposium will cover a broad range of topics in DNA barcoding and metabarcoding bioinformatics for biodiversity studies. Biodiversity experts from across Latin America and beyond will provide an introduction to the field, including general approaches and technologies for studying biodiversity in different contexts. Sample collection and processing, selecting appropriate markers and various analysis methods will be covered, as will regulatory issues in Latin America.

There will be a second symposium titled, “IV North Northeast Symposium on Bioinformatics” in Bragança - PA between 4-5th September. The topic will also be biodiversity. It will be a good opportunity to connect with a wider bioinformatics community and to also see a beautiful spot near the coast. For further information please follow this link.
