2018 Biology of Genomes, one of the long standing genomics conferences is just around the corner. This year’s Biology of Genomes will be from 8th May to 12th May. Just, recently the accepted talks/posters at BOG18 were announced and somehow missed that. The 2018 meeting will focus on DNA sequence variation and its role in molecular evolution, population genetics and complex diseases, comparative genomics, large-scale studies of gene and protein expression, and genomic approaches to ecological systems. Both technologies and applications will be emphasized. In addition there will be a special s ..read more
