EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Systems Genetics: From Genomes to Complex Traits

EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Systems Genetics: From Genomes to Complex Traits is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Sep 29 - Oct 02, 2019 at EMBL Advance Training Centre, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.

Symposium Overview:
Next generation sequencing, genome editing, deep mutational scans, and single cell biology are opening up unprecedented opportunities to understand how genetic variation alters molecular mechanisms to cause phenotypic variation amongst individuals, including quantitative traits and human disease. This first EMBO|EMBL Symposium on systems genetics will focus on the central questions of when and how do changes in genotype result in changes in phenotype. This meeting will bring together groups using experimental, statistical and mechanistic modelling approaches to address these questions at different scales and in diverse model systems, including for human disease.

Session Topics:
• Deep mutational scans
• Evolution
• Gene regulation
• Genetic interactions
• Genetic prediction 
• Genetics of human disease
• Genotype-phenotype landscapes
• Personal genomes
• Quantitative Traits
• Reverse genetics & gene editing
• Single cell genetics
• Statistical methods
• Variability and noise

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
