This course will give insights into, and practical experience in, data visualisation for exploring complex and multi-dimensional biological data.

Biological and life sciences data often consists of multiple dimensions: a combination of numerical values, ordered data, categories, and time-series. To make sense of this data, simple plots like scatterplots, barcharts, and boxplots are often not enough. Still, visualisation is critical in gaining deep insight into the data. This is why many custom visualisations originated in the biological field.

In this course, we will dive into the topic of visualisation of complex biological data and how it can be used to gain insight into and get a "feel" for a dataset, so that targeted analyses can be defined. It will be delivered through a mixture of lectures and workshop sessions, and will provide hands-on experience in developing visualisations. The course will focus on working with omics (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics) data rather than e.g. imaging data.

The 3rd International Symposium on Microgenomics 2023 to be held on June 29-30, 2023 in Florence, Italy will be focused on new methodologies and strategies for rare and small sample analysis including all scientific fields from agriculture to medicine. During the symposium, international experts in their fields will be present to give very exciting talks in the following sessions: (1) Methodological Approaches & Instruments; (2) Solid-tissue Analysis & Spatial Omics; (3) Circulating Biomarkers, EV & Single Cells; (4) Integrative Analysis from Omics to Bioinformatics.

The 39th International Society for Animal Genetics Conference will be held in Cape Town, South Africa. It will be an excellent opportunity to bring together outstanding scientists, policy makers, professionals and students from interdisciplinary animal genetics fields to share the latest developments, meet old friends and form new partnerships.

There is a growing awareness of the societal implications of recent advances in genomic technologies and statistical methodology. The 2023 Symposium in Statistical and Quantitative Genetics will complement the concurrent Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics, and the University of Washington strengths in Biostatistics, Genome Sciences and Public Health Genetics. Leading researchers will present their current work in invited talks, and applications are invited for contributed oral or poster presentations.

This is a biannual international conference hosted by UC Davis focused on current developments on the genetic engineering and gene editing of livestock, poultry and fish.

Objective: To bring together attendees from academia, industry and government for the dissemination of the latest science-based information on the use of gene biotechnologies in livestock, poultry and fish and to foster interactions with and education of governmental regulators and the general public.

Intended audience: Scientists working in the fields of genetic engineering and gene editing in agricultural species, federal regulators and livestock producers.

PAG Australia will be spanning three days (Wednesday through Friday) and consist of plenary talks, scientific sessions and industry workshops, an expo of tabletop exhibits from leading companies in the agri-genomics industry, and a gallery of poster abstracts.

The Plant & Animal Genome Conference / PAG 30 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.

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.

Early Registration Rates: Industry: $1,300 (Full), $845 (Weekend); Non-Profit: $850 (Full), $675 (Weekend); Student: $475.

This is the premier conference for researchers and professionals involved in genetic improvement of livestock. Delegates from around the world gather every four years to attend the scientific program and to network with colleagues. This builds on previous successful congresses in Madrid (Spain, 1974 and 1982), Lincoln (USA, 1986), Edinburgh (UK, 1990), Guelph (Canada, 1994), Armidale (Australia, 1998), Montpellier (France, 2002), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, 2006), Leipzig (Germany, 2010), Vancouver (Canada, 2014), Auckland (New Zealand, 2018), and Rotterdam (The Netherlands, 2022).

The 2026 WCGALP will be co-costed by Iowa State University, University of California-Davis and University of Wisconsin- Madison.
