Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT)
February 27, 2019 - March 2, 2019

The Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting will be held Feb 27 – Mar 2, 2019 on Marco Island, Florida.
AGBT provides a forum for exchanging information about the latest advances in DNA sequencing technologies, experimental and analytical approaches for genomic studies, and their myriad applications.
Highlighted presentation topics include:
- Heterochromatin and genome evolution
- Historical pathogen population genomics using selective genome enrichment to identify non-classical drug resistance mechanisms
- Identity inference of genomic data using long-range familial searches
- Transcript expression-aware annotation increases power for rare variant discovery in Mendelian and complex disease
- Characterization of splicing diversity and gene fusions through Nanopore sequencing
- Single cell-RNA-seq identifies a unique microglia type associate with Alzheimer’s disease
- Spatial mapping of host-microbiome interactions in the gut
- Assembly of long error-prone reads using repeat graphs
- Isoform sequencing in tissues, cell types and thousands of cells
- From here to Mars: How the Twins Study and the year-long ISS mission have moved us closer to the red planet
- Cell atlases as road maps to human disease
- A rigorous study of the need for Sanger confirmation in clinical genetic testing
