NCBI Comparative Genomics Codeathon: Final Presentations

We invite you to register to attend the final presentations of the upcoming "NCBI Comparative Genomics Codeathon: Advancing Human Health through Collaborative Discovery."

Comparative genomics is a fast-growing field focused on genetic similarities and differences between species to better understand biology and human disease. Comparing genomes helps scientists discover the mechanisms behind health-related phenomena, such as slowing of the aging process, effective wound healing, robust immune responsiveness, and disease resistance.  As technology improves and more data becomes available, studying both closely and distantly related species can help advance human health.

To address the growing need for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and exploration of the data produced and available for this research, we are hosting a codeathon bringing together researchers with expertise in the life and/or translational sciences, as well as people with bioinformatics or data science skills to work in teams to create innovative solutions to health-related issues using comparative genomics methods. Participants will spend a week working on Team Projects and, in this virtual event, the teams will describe their projects and the results of their exciting work.

Registration link coming soon!

Please note: This event will be recorded and the video will be posted on this page approximately two weeks after the event.
