Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of pathogens' whole genomes is revolutionizing clinical diagnostics, epidemiology and the entire field of microbiology. Never before have you had access to and been able to analyze and compare thousands of complete genomic sequences of bacteria, parasites and viruses.
Join us at the 2020 ASM Conference on Next-Generation Sequencing, Oct. 23 – 26 in Washington, D.C. and get comprehensive guidance with up-to-date examples of the use of NGS technology for applied results in the traceability and clustering of microbial pathogens associated with food safety, clinical infection, environmental contamination and other potential sources of disease outbreaks. You’ll walk away with access to the available resources and direction you need relating to bioinformatics and epidemiology.
