The PEER Project Partners organized the Microsatellite Data Analysis Workshop which was held at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute on October 14 and 16, 2013. A total of 31 graduate students and research assistants from the five partner institutions participated in the workshop which tackled the basic concepts on DNA microsatellites, population genetics and connectivity, and the different approaches and methods in microsatellite data analysis among others. Dr. Rachel Ravago-Gotanco and Dr. Ma. Carmen Ablan-Lagman were the resource speakers of the said two-day workshop.
This NFRDI-counterpart workshop responds to the PEER training and outreach plan through capacity training and development of undergraduate and graduate students, academic staff, and research assistants and faculty of the participating institutions.

Dr. Jeffrey T. Williams collections manager from the Smithsonian Institution delivered a talk on the importance of Fish Taxonomy on research. He pointed out that proper identification played a very great role to have a successful research most specially on the field of genetics like DNA barcoding, population genetics and other related studies. The opening remarks was led by Doc Mudjie and mentioned that young generations should know the importance of Taxonomy. Minerva Ventolero research assistant of Genetic Fingerprinting Laboratory and audience of the seminar said “ We are very lucky to be able to hear this kind of seminar, it helped me a lot on my study about the taxonomy of Ludong”. Researchers from NFRDI were very eager to ask questions which brought enlightenment and resolution to some of the difficulties they encountered in their research at NFRDI. |
