The development of genome analysis technologies is accelerating year by year. Advances in long-read DNA sequencing technologies, such as nanopore sequencing, and single-cell resolution multi-omics data collection are progressing rapidly. Consequently, there is an increasing need for establishing robust analysis infrastructure to handle the vast amounts of data, along with the enhancement of analysis technologies that include artificial intelligence (AI). These technological advancements are driving data-driven discoveries in the life sciences, expanding the possibilities for further applications. There are also high expectations for the acceleration of genomic science research through international collaboration.

In response to the rapid developments in the field of genomic medicine, the 15th International Genome Conference will be held. This conference aims to explore the latest achievements and new developments brought about by cutting-edge technologies under the theme "Genome, Cell and Disease." The conference will take place over three days from July 2 to July 4, 2025, at Hitotsubashi Hall (National Center of Sciences).

Genomic science now influences a wide range of fields, including medicine, biology, pharmacology, informatics, and engineering, making it a crucial topic for related industries as well. We look forward to welcoming participants from these diverse fields to foster lively discussions at this symposium.

We sincerely look forward to your participation.
