## Abstract

THE BIOLOGY OF GENOMES
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York
 May 8 - 12, 2018
 May 7 – 11, 2019
 May 5 – 9, 2020
 May 11 – 15, 2021
 May 10 – 14, 2022
Five successive annual conferences on THE BIOLOGY OF GENOMES (scheduled for each May of
2018-2022) will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and will draw together the major
practitioners in the field of genome research. In the tradition of Cold Spring Harbor meetings, new
discoveries in the field will be emphasized. Major areas for discussion and presentations will include
developments and progress in 1) population genomics ; 2) evolutionary & non-human genomics; 3)
complex traits & microbiome; 4) functional genomics & epigenetics; 5) computational genomics ; 6)
cancer & medical genomics; and 7) genome engineering & editing; and 8) other topics highly relevant
to the ongoing efforts in the genomics field. Each meeting will include seven platform sessions
(typically with eight speakers each), three poster sessions, and a keynote speaker session. Each
session will be co-chaired by two leading investigators in the field who together with the organizers
will establish the format of each session based on the submitted abstracts. A special panel will be
devoted to the ethical legal and social implications of genome research. Particular attention will be
paid to encourage active participation by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new
investigators as well as the attendance by leading scientists in the field. Efforts are made to
encourage attendance by women and individuals from communities under-represented in the
biological sciences. As with the previous 30 conferences, it is anticipated that the proposed meetings
will provide unique opportunities for the exchange of data, ideas, and experiences in the various sub
disciplines of genome research. The meetings will be international in nature, with an anticipated
annual attendance of 450-500 investigators.
