11e Congrès AGBT

11 Congrès AGBT (Advances in Genome Biology and Technology) à Marco Island en Floride, du 24 au 27 février 2010.

The 11th annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting will be held in Marco Island, Florida, from February 24-27, 2010. The AGBT meeting is now widely regarded as the premier scientific forum for capturing information about the latest advances in new DNA sequencing technologies and their applications to diverse areas in biology and biomedical research. The meeting will have daytime plenary sessions that feature keynote speakers, additional invited speakers, and abstract-selected talks. These sessions will highlight cutting-edge research in areas such as next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, genome structure and function, cancer genomics, metagenomics, medical sequencing, complex genetic diseases, and population genomics. Technical approaches being developed and utilized in contemporary genomics research will be presented during evening concurrent sessions. Our annual pre-meeting 'training' workshop will feature talks on practical applications of various next-generation sequencing instruments from experienced practitioners. Please plan to join us in Marco Island, where the relaxed atmosphere and outstanding science at the 2010 AGBT meeting will again provide an exceptional opportunity to meet and interact with scientific leaders from the many disciplines being advanced by large-scale DNA sequencing and genomics.
