Symposium on Evolutionary Genetics and Omics
The SEGO will be held at National Institute of Genetics (NIG) in Japan on July 13 & 14, 2018. It covers a wide range of topics in evolutionary genetics and omics to discuss current research and to stimulate future international collaboration. All talks are invitation-based.
DDBJ also organizes a training session (DDBJ Supercomputer Training & Educational Program jointly with this symposium. We accept max. 10 participants. Please apply from Application form.
