Fri. Dec 5, 2025 5:20 AM - 7:20 AM UTC
Room 12(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 4F, 416+417)
Organizer: Tetsuo Kon (University of Vienna), Mayuko Hamada (Okayama University)
The combination of long-read sequencing and Hi-C analysis has enabled high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies, allowing single research group to obtain all chromosomal sequences of specific organisms. This technological innovation has led to the rapidly grown reports of chromosome-scale genome assemblies for diverse species. Consequently, life sciences are being advanced across diverse species from a "glocal" perspective, integrating gene function and chromosome-scale information. This symposium invites young researchers working with species that have unique characteristics, from mammals to invertebrates and plants, to discuss the current state and future directions of genome science through chromosome-scale genome analyses.
