Genetics - Understanding Living Systems
The International Federation of Genetics (IGF) and the German Genetics Society, in partnership with Nature Genetics announce
the XX International Congress of Genetics.
Genetics — Understanding Living SystemsJuly 12-17, 2008, Berlin, Germany
Genomics revolutionized genetic research. Now, complete annotated genome sequences are available for the human, our closest relative, the chimpanzee, and for many other model organisms. Comprehensive maps of genome variation and polymorphism paint a rich picture of our population and evolutionary history and will explain genetic, epigenetic and environmental contributions to life processes. Bioinformatics and modelling of genomic data attempt to predict and explain the functional architecture of genomes across the diversity of organisms.
The Congress in Berlin will present the latest genetic and genomic insights in ten plenary lectures and 54 concurrent symposia. 280 of the world’s most prominent geneticists will speak.
The Abstract Submission Deadline has been extended to January 31, 2008.
