Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting

March 23 – 26, 2015 in Walnut Creek, California

Thanks for making our 10th Annual User Meeting a resounding success!

Event Location: Marriott Hotel, 2355 North Main Street Walnut Creek, CA 94596

Who should attend? Any and all researchers and students interested in energy and environmental genomics.

Need some inspiration to participate? See/hear these testimonials from a previous meeting.

Topics: Microbial genomics, fungal genomics, metagenomics, and plant genomics; genome editing, secondary metabolites, pathway engineering, synthetic biology, high-throughput functional genomics, high-performance computing applications and societal impact of technological advances.
