Biodiversity Genomics 2020, from 05 to 09 October 2020

Biodiversity Genomics 2020, from 05 to 09 October 2020, is a (free) virtual meeting that will bring together researchers across the world to celebrate our achievements in genome sequencing across the eukaryotic tree of life, explore current challenges and their likely solutions, and look forward to the coming decade of the application of genomics across the globe. With major projects starting to deliver data at scale, new tools for sequencing and assembling genomes becoming available, and increased awareness of the power of whole genome data in understanding organismal biology and ecosystem processes, Biodiversity Genomics 2020 promises to be a milestone in the effort to “sequence life for the future of life”. Continuing the tradition of ambitious, collaborative science. Biodiversity Genomics 2020 continues the tradition of previous meetings of Genomes 10k, the Vertebrate Genomes Project, the Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance, and the Earth BioGenome Project.

Main meeting talks and parallel sessions: 15:00-19:00 BST, 5-9 October 2020

Pre-meeting and post-meeting poster sessions, social and community events: ± 1 hr either side
