Purpose of this meeting: An open forum on key scientific and technical challenges to advancing a broad set of genomic technologies including those for nucleic acid sequencing.
Why participate: Participants will learn about state-of-the-art research on genome technologies and NHGRI’s technology development program, and share their knowledge and expertise to help advance the field. They will have an opportunity to contribute insights on possible solutions to key challenges.
Presentation opportunities: Participants are encouraged to submit poster abstracts. A subset of abstracts will be selected for platform presentation.
Participants: Scientists and engineers who are expert in fields such as genomics, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, analytical chemistry, physics, single-molecule studies, micro- and nanotechnology, materials, signal processing, fast/sensitive electronics, and many others.
Personal Communications: Abstracts, posters and presentations at this meeting are privileged communications and are not to be cited. Please, no photos, audio or video recordings, blogging, or other similar recording or dissemination of the contents presented during meeting sessions.
Meetings such as this are most productive in an atmosphere of open discussion of recent results. We ask that all participants at the meeting treat what they see and hear as personal communication, and that they not re-disseminate the information without explicit permission of the presenter/originator of the data.
