AGD continues with the popular hybrid format: Online and
Universitätsclub Bonn, Konviktstraße 9, 53113 Bonn.
When?
October 26. and 27., 2023.
What?
As the highly anticipated Modellvorhaben Genomsequenzierung prepares for its much-awaited launch on January 1, 2024, we are excited to reveal a program that goes beyond short read sequencing in this year's AGD meeting. The agenda will feature interesting talks on long read sequencing, novel DNA methylation assays, and collaborative research empowered by FAIR data principles, fostering a more interconnected and accessible scientific community. Network with colleagues and enjoy the food!
Is there anything to win?
