If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This EMBL Conference brings together researchers at the frontier of genomics to explore the origins, patterns and consequences of mutations. Across cells and species, we will traverse the mechanisms driving genetic heterogeneity to impact genome function, evolution, and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rapid improvements in accuracy of sequencing techniques and their application across cells, tissues, cultivars, and populations necessitates bringing together previously disparate fields. Contextualising genetic heterogeneity with increasingly-sophisticated experimental perturbation, multi-omic integration, and computational analyses are transforming the ways we find and use mutations for discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bringing together researchers from diverse academic backgrounds, geographic regions, and career stages, ee are able to foster interactions between disciplines that do not traditionally overlap by offering a vibrant forum in which we can exchange ideas and spark new collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The origins of mutations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New tools and technologies to study mutations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mutations across the tree of life, including plants, fungi and bacteria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mutations across cells and tissues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evolutionary dynamics in disease and cancer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mutations across individuals and populations around the world<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Functional consequences of genetic variation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experimental and synthetic approaches to mutagenesis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should attend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are enthusiastic about attendees from all disciplines and and career stages, from early-career researchers to established investigators, no specialist background is required. This conference is well-suited to those researching mutagenesis, genomics, evolution, cancer, developmental, functional biology and related fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EMBL is committed to creating an inclusive environment at our courses and conferences where internationally renowned researchers and researchers at all career stages across the life sciences share knowledge, build connections, and foster collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\"

One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name \u2018Judy Eastman\u2019 (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL\u2019s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"vf-box__text\">Please also note that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">EMBL never provides attendee lists for purchase.
