The PBRT 2026 will follow the same pattern as previous editions: a friendly meeting with fascinating science and stimulating discussion held in a beautiful location. The University of Kent is set in 450 acres of parkland overlooking the historic city of Canterbury and its famous cathedral.

The scientific programme, as usual, will be composed of contributions from those attending the meeting, organisations attending are strongly encouraged to contribute a talk and contribute to the discussion.

The meeting provides an excellent opportunity to present and discuss new results with an informed, interested audience in an informal setting.

The Plant & Animal Genome Conference (PAG) is designed to provide a forum on recent developments and future plans for plant & animal genome projects. Consisting of technical presentations, poster sessions, exhibits and workshops, the conference is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and applications on this internationally important project.

New format: The conference will run Friday to Tuesday (5 days) and the final banquet will be on Tuesday evening.

There will be approximately 200 Workshops, 2,500 Abstracts, 1,200 Posters & 130+ Exhibiting Companies ... as well as social and networking opportunities. All in a relaxed and informal setting.

The International Society and the International Foundation for Animal Genetics (ISAG and IFAG) evolved from a series of annual workshops for comparing methods for detecting red cell antigens and variants of proteins to an organization focusing on basic and applied research on molecular genetics. The Society and the Foundation support exchange of research ideas, results, and applications by organizing conferences and workshops, comparison tests, and publishing Animal Genetics, the official journal of the Foundation. From its beginning, the Society has been recognized for its open and friendly character, providing an excellent platform for new and young scientists.
