Why is it important?

The Open Institute is the genomics and bioinformatics knowledge exchange program for the AfricaBP. It aims to develop biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics curricula targeted at African scientists; promote and develop genomics and bioinformatics tools that will address critical needs relevant to the African terrain, such as limited internet access; and advance grassroot knowledge exchange through outreach and public engagement, such as quarterly training and workshops.
