ORG.one Symposium
Title: ORG.one Genomes for Conservation of Endangered Species
Date: Friday, January 10th, 2025
Time: 10:30 am - 12:40 pm PT
Location: Pacific E
Description: ORG.one supports conservation genomics through a program designed to support equitable, fast, and more localized sequencing projects. Through a partnership with Oxford Nanopore, ORG.one is enabling de novo reference genome sequencing of critically endangered species the world over. Enabling biologists to rapidly sequence, share, and study reference genomes, ORG.one is maximizing the impact of novel whole genome sequencing technologies. This workshop highlights recent advances in organizational projects, sequencing centers, and de novo reference genome affiliated with the project. Talks will cover new advances in nanopore sequencing, genome assembly and annotation, and their applications in conservation genomics.
