GENETICS – UNDERSTANDING LIVING SYSTEMS
XX INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF GENETICS
BERLIN, GERMANY, JULY 12-17, 2008
Genetics reveals the structure, function and evolution of living systems.
Genomics revolutionized genetic research. Now, complete annotated genome sequences are available for the human, our closest
relative, the chimpanzee, and for many other model organisms. Multiple genomes have been compared an d scrutinized for past and

ongoing processes of variation, adaptation and speciation. Traces of the foregoing RNA world show it to be far more influential than
previously suspected. Comprehensive maps of genome variation and polymorphism paint a rich picture o f our population and
evolutionary history and illustrate new strategies that will explain genetic, epigenetic and environ mental contributions to disease risk.
SPO
Transcriptomes comprehensively documenting gene expression and proteomic data sets are being built i nto functional networks and
systems. Bioinformatics and modeling of genomic data attempt to predict and explain the functional a rchitecture of genomes across
the diversity of organisms.
The Congress in Berlin will present the latest genetic and genomic insights in ten plenary lectures and 54 concurrent symposia. 280
of the world’s most prominent geneticists will speak.
