Join us at the Midwest CRISPR Animal Modeling Symposium (M-CAMS 2026) for a training session on connecting genomic discovery with vector design.
Dr. Jorge Batista Da Rocha (@ensembl ) will demonstrate how researchers can access, explore, and analyze genomic data using the Ensembl genome browser, while Dr. Jen Kong (VectorBuilder) will show how those genomic insights can translate directly into practical vector design using VectorBee.
