Theme details
With advances in computational and technological tools, scientists are probing the genome at ever increasing resolution and scale. GenScale will provide a platform for talks on genomics research in two major fields where technological change has brought about a massive increase in scale.
Synthetic High-Throughput Genomics
Synthetic High-throughput Genomics allows scientists to fundamentally decode and harness the rules of the genome through genome engineering, large-scale perturbation screens and machine learning.
Population-Scale Genomics
Population-Scale Genomics leverages the natural variation in populations to decipher the genomics of complex human diseases and reveal evolutionary patterns across species.
