Visitors to the 59th annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics in Honolulu,

Hawaii, will have ample opportunity to see the latest state-of-the-art solutions from Oxford Gene

Technology (OGT) – ranging from disease research services to cytogenetics research products.

As well as having a strong presence in the exhibitors’ hall, OGT will be showcasing its

comprehensive solutions for disease and cytogenetics research at a satellite meeting held in

room 325 of the Convention Center at 12 noon on Thursday October 22nd, entitled ‘From disease

to cytogenetics research – an integrated CNV analysis platform from Oxford Gene Technology’.

In the meeting, Dr Jonathan Sebat, Associate Professor of Human Genetics at Cold Spring

Harbor Laboratory, will review some of the challenges in cohort studies, while Dr David Ledbetter,

Professor of Human Genetics at Emory University School of Medicine, will elaborate on some of

the considerations in taking aCGH to the clinic, including the ISCA Consortium and Public

Database.

Dr John Anson, R&D Director at OGT, commented: “We are delighted to welcome two

distinguished guest speakers to the podium, who will be discussing developments from disease

to cytogenetics research. We will outline how OGT has aligned its portfolio of products and

services to support these efforts.”
