Plant Genomics Congress

As part of our Next Generation Sequencing series of events the 1st Plant Genomics Congress, was held on May 13-14 2013 in London, UK.

Attracting 260 experts working in next generation sequencing, plant genomics/ sciences, epigenetics, bioinformatics and data management, the conference examined the latest NGS platforms and technologies suitable for progressing plant based research as well as tools to enable successful analysis.

Should you be either already using NGS for plant analysis with a desire to extend your knowledge or a researcher keen to invest in sequencing technology and looking to learn which platform suits your requirements - the conference will be relaunched for 2014 with an even better programme. We aim to build on the interactive networking forum created this year, to better answer your queries through a vibrant exhibition room full of technology providers demonstrating their technologies and other solutions, expert led case study presentations and interactive Q&A panel discussions from a 40 strong speaker faculty.
