14th International Symposium on Variants in the Genome: detection, sequencing & interpretation

Programme

This meeting is intended to provide all participants with an opportunity to contribute and learn so we strongly encourage you to submit an abstract although it is not necessary to do so.

A progam will be released once the abstracts have been reviewed.  You can see invited speakers and their topics above; this will be updated each time a new speaker is invited.  You can see the proposed schedule here.
