- Description: The main objective of the meeting is to review current and future developments in DNA sequencing and to demonstrate the application of these novel technologies in the various fields of genome research.
*Don’t miss out on the opportunity to present at this years conference. The submission deadline for oral and poster abstracts is 11 April, 2008.
This year’s topics are:
*Health-care aspects of genomics
*Bioinformatics and computational biology
*Advances in genetic and genomics technologies and their applications
*Microbial Genomics
*Plant Genomics
*Human Genomics
*Zoological Genomics
*Marine Genomics
*Ethics
*The Future of Gene Sequencing
Abstracts should be submitted online at http://www.ultrafastgenomics.com/call.htm by 11 April 2008.
*(All abstracts will be refereed and a criterion of rejection will be lack of originality. A condition of submission is that, if accepted, the paper must be presented at UFGS-2008 by one of the authors.)
Scope
The advent of “Next Generation” DNA sequencing technologies is ushering a second genomics revolution, opening new avenues of investigation. With the promise of a $1000 genome on the horizon, sequencing promises to provide new approaches in a wide range of applications including population studies, gene expression analysis, environmental genomics, and pharmacogenomics.
