The AGTA conference (Australasian Genomic Technologies Association, formerly known as AMATA) is Australia’s foremost genomic technology conference. It is an essential event for researchers and industry representatives who work with genomic technologies in a variety of contexts including platform development, medical genomics, functional genomics, non-model systems, epigenomics and plant genomics. The conference also offers an important opportunity for computational biologists, bioinformaticians and data visualisation specialists to interact with technologists and biologists. This unique mix is one of the reasons that the Australian genomics community has a dynamic cross-disciplinary and innovative approach to genomic analysis, and is at the forefront of analysis tools for new types of ‘omics’ data. The AGTA 2015 conference will cover themes that include cancer genomics, epigenomics, bioinformatics, transcriptomics, functional genomics, clinical sequencing and plant genomics with a special focus on the genomics of good wine.
In 2015 the ABACBS Conference and the COMBINE Student Symposium will be held in Sydney on the 9th-11th of October, preceding the AGTA Conference.
