Whole Genome Sequencing Giveaway, FDA’s New Approach to
Regulatory Science & Treadmill Challenge
Front Line Genomics is bringing Festival of Genomics to California this week (Nov 3-5th). Their inaugural event, which was held in Boston in June, was a great success and we are looking forward to the festivities taking place in our own backyard. Festival of Genomics will include a stellar lineup of speakers, plus posters, workshops, exhibitors, and networking opportunities. DNAnexus returns as defending champion of the “Race the Helix” treadmill challenge, a fundraising event for the Greenwood Genetic Center.
If you’re headed to Festival of Genomics California, please visit the DNAnexus booth (#15) to learn about our latest research and development project with the FDA’s Office of Health Informatics to build precisionFDA, an open source platform to advance regulatory science around NGS-based analytic tools and datasets.
In collaboration with Sure Genomics, we’ll be giving away one FREE full genome sequence each day! Stop by the DNAnexus booth (#15) between 1-2pm to learn more about Sure Genomics, their new personal genome sequencing service and interactive analytics platform, and be entered to win. More details below.
