Inspired by R.E.H.A.B., as well as its fellow journal clubs including EvolFri, C.A.M.P., E.H.R.A.B., Detox, etc., we assemble an informal journal club at UNL to share ideas regarding recent papers or preprints of interest. We focus on, but not limited to, QUantitative genetics and genomics, bio-Informatics and breeding Technologies in all aspects.

Anyone is welcome to suggest a paper (by sending an email to jinliang.yang at unl.edu) and come to talk with us. Nobody will present or defend the papers. We directly jump right into discussion with the assumption that you have read the paper. There is no email list; articles are posted below along with the date.

Notice: Changing time and Location

We will resume our journal club this Fall 2024 to meet every Friday at 8:30 am, at UNL East Campus (Room PLSH 279M).
