Place: Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, USA

Date for your presentation: January 13th-17th, 2018

　

We attended the Plant & Animal Genome Congress (PAG) XXVI during Jan 13th~17th at San Diego. This chance was supported by International Activity Support Group of Scientific Research on Innovative Areas "The Birth of New Plant Species". We first express our sincere thanks to this support.

　

A graduate student of our lab, Haruka Maeda, and I took two invited talks and one poster presentation at the congress. We could meet to our friends worldwide, and had chances to discuss on the current progresses of each other, where some advanced (and attractive!!) technologies have been introduced. Only in Japan, it would be hard not only to receive the front lines of genome (or bioinformatics) technologies but to make good collaborations. The PAG, an annual meeting stably at San Diego, would be a good opportunity to grant them, especially for young scientists.
