Following the success of Oxford Global Conferences' Next Generation Sequencing Series Congresses in London and Asia, we are thrilled to announce our inaugural Next Generation Sequencing USA Congress and co-located Single Cell Genomics and Transcriptomics USA Congress in Boston on the 27th & 28th October 2015.

Attended by over 200 senior-level scientists, the Congresses aim to cover updates and applications of NGS technologies in genomics and genetics research in the US, the UK and Europe. Additionally, the Single Cell Genomics and Transcriptomics USA Congress will look at new methods in DNA sequencing, epigenomic DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing, informatics, data handling and applications of single cell genomics in understanding cancer.

Unmissable for those working within next generation sequencing, single cell analysis, genomics, bioinformatics and transcriptomics, this two-day Congress series will provide the opportunity to obtain all the information and personal contacts needed to benefit research.

Attend these highly anticipated Congresses and hear world-class presentations on the industry's key topics:
