Food Traceability Using Genomic Tools

Seafood and wildlife is most traded commodities worldwide, with an estimated annual value of US$676.20 billion. Despite rigorous efforts to regulate this trade, numerous challenges continue to emerge, complicating the enforcement and sustainable management of these critical resources.

In this intensive course, participants will receive an overview of the seafood industry, including the evolution of regulatory enforcement in the collection and sale of seafood products. The core focus will be on introducing genomic tools used for seafood traceability. The course will introduce targeted techniques such as Sanger sequencing and quantitative PCR, then advances to the latest in sequencing technologies (Illumina and Nanopore), bioinformatic analysis, and their practical applications in ensuring the integrity and safety of food products. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical workshops, this course aims to empower participants with the essential skills required for efficient food traceability.
