BIOVEGEN participated on July 17 in the dissemination day of the GOCITRUS Operational Group that took place at the Casa de Cultura in Cartaya (Huelva).
The event was dedicated to publicly presenting the GOCITRUS project, which aims to create molecular markers that assist in varietal identification and management, serving as a foundation for the future creation of a technical unit supported by the Citruseq genomic database. BIOVEGEN is involved in the GOCITRUS project in advisory, coordination, and dissemination tasks of the consortium’s advances.
