Complex Traits Community - Rodent Genomics 2025 meeting: quantitative approaches to rodent genetics, omics and disease models.
21-24 October 2025, PRBB, Barcelona, Spain
Dear all,
We have planned an exciting and enjoyable conference for us all in Barcelona, but now need you to register and send in your abstracts! If you have not yet done so, register at your earliest convenience and submit your abstract. Abstract submission will close on August 15 and registration on September 1.
We will kick off our meeting with a Welcome Dinner generously sponsored by The Jackson Laboratory on Tuesday October 21 at a restaurant in Barcelona’s lively city centre.
We will have two excellent keynote talks:
- Drs. Mafalda Dias and Jonathan Frazer, who lead the Probabilistic Machine Learning and Genomics team at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona
Title: Extending variant effect prediction to non-human species with Deep Learning - Prof. Juana Díez, who leads the Laboratory of Molecular Virologyat the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona
Title: The host tRNA epitranscriptome: a selective pressure driving viral convergent evolution
All other talks will be selected from abstracts.
We will also have a poster session and workshops, including:
• Next-Generation Behavioral Monitoring: Equipment & Analysis (talks & demos by Drs Noah Ditto, The Jackson Laboratory; Stefano Gaburro, Tecniplast; Christian Jung, PhenoSys)
• a Career Workshop (for PhD students and postdocs; lunch will be provided to the participants). Please email me directly if you volunteer to be a mentor in this workshop. Having diverse mentors will be key to the success of this workshop!
• Pangenome Analysis
• AI-Accelerated Approaches for Understanding Complex Traits
• Unconference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference)
Finally, practical information, including nearby hotels, is available from our conference website (in the tab “Practical information”).
