The City of Brotherly Love is hosting this year’s ASHG meeting, November 11-15 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. This is an opportunity to network with professionals involved in research, technology, and publications relating to the field of human genetics. Highlights include the latest developments in epigenetics, non-coding RNAs, triplet expansions, pharmacogenetics, and therapy for genetic disorders. The UCSC Genome Browser, an essential tool for interpreting genetic and genomic information, will also be presented. Online registration ends tomorrow.
Attendees are encouraged to stop by our Meet the Editor sessions, where three distinguished scientists on the editorial board of Current Protocols in Human Genetics will be available to answer questions and discuss current research. The schedule for these sessions is as follows:
