SON2024 High Throughput Nematode Identification Workshop
MITOCHONDRIAL METAGENOMICS FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT NEMATODE IDENTIFICATION – WHAT IS IT? HOW GOOD IS IT? HOW TO USE IT? Eli Gendron, J. Sevigny, W.K. Thomas, and D.L. Porazinska ~Powerpoint Presentation
Course on Nematode Systematics and Phylogeny - Spring 2025
The course provides advanced knowledge on taxonomy and systematics of free-living, plant-parasitic, and animal-parasitic nematodes. It uses their morphological and molecular characterization as basis for understanding nematode evolutionary relationships, classification, and identification.
The
course is taught in person only and is open to anyone interested
(graduate students, disease diagnosticians, researchers, regulatory
agency representatives etc. in the US and abroad). Registration is
required as the seat cap is 18. The course is already full for this
year. https://www.clemson.edu/cafls/nematology/

Dr. Byron Adams is interested in nematode ecology and evolution. He studies insect-associated nematodes, and nematology as applied to questions about how terrestrial ecosystems, respond to historical and contemporary climate change, and how nematodes have evolved to survive environmental stress.
