Welcome to the 30th Annual Lorne Genome Conference 2009

Planning for the conference is well underway and as well as the usual exciting scientific program,
a number of special events are being organized.

So put the 15th - 18th February, 2009 in your diary now.

The conference themes for 2009 are
•    Comparative and Evolutionary genomics focusing on evolutionary genetics, novel genomes and model organisms
•    Plant and microbial genomics including epigenetics and microbial pathogens
•    Epigenomics of plants and animals
•    High throughput technologies and genome informatics with a focus on emerging technologies
•    Population and disease genomics specifically on cancer genomics, complex traits and microbial pathogens
•    RNA regulation in particular non-coding RNA
•    Transcriptional regulatory mechanisms and networks focusing on systems biology and the genetics of gene expression

The International Speakers are now being finalised - please use the link to see the speakers in the program so far.

The annual Lorne Genome Confernece
The annual Lorne Genome Conference on the Organization and Expression of the Genome is organized by
Lorne Genome Inc. The Board of Lorne Genome Inc have introduced a number of new initiatives to ensure that
the conference maintains its status as one of the premier life sciences conferences in Australia.
For details please click here.

Genome research is undergoing a major revolution brought about by the availability of entire genome sequences
for many species and by new technologies such as massively parallel sequencing, live cell imaging and mass
spectrometry. This conference is the major forum in Australia showcasing the many new and exciting developments
in genome research. To ensure a comprehensive spread of topics and to focus on the latest research trends,
the Board has agreed to a set of core conference topics.
