THE USDA BLUEPRINT FOR ANIMAL GENOME RESEARCH 2018 - 2027 HAS GENERATED WORLDWIDE INTERESTS IN UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AN ORGANISM'S GENOME AND PHENOME. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE APPROACHES TO DETERMINE GENOME-PHENOME RELATIONSHIPS. THE CENTRAL DOGMA OF QUANTITATIVE GENETICS DESCRIBES PHENOTYPE (P) AS A FUNCTION OF GENOTYPE (G), ENVIRONMENT (E) AND THEIR INTERACTION OR P = G + E + G X E, WHILE THE CENTRAL DOGMA OF MOLECULAR GENETICS STATES THAT DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN. THEREFORE, WE ARE SO PLEASED TO ORGANIZE A SYMPOSIUM THAT WILL BE HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 2023 ASAS-CSAS-WSASAS ANNUAL MEETING, JULY 16 - 20 IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO WITH A GOAL TO MERGE BOTH DOGMAS OF QUANTITATIVE AND MOLECULAR GENETICS INTO A DOGMA OF PHENOMICS. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF THE SYMPOSIUM IS TO PROVIDE A UNIQUE PLATFORM FOR BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND MOLECULAR GENETICS COMMUNITIES TO THINK ABOUT ADVANCED THEORIES AND STRATEGIES IN ORDER TO DELINEATE THE COMPLEX, NONLINEAR, MULTIVARIATE AND MULTI-LEVEL NETWORKS BETWEEN GENOME AND PHENOME. AS ORGANIZERS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT THE SYMPOSIUM IS HELD IN A HIGH QUALITY, EFFICIENT AND SAFE MANNER IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FOSTERS DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION.
