The European Mathematical Genetics Meeting 2025 will take place at the University of Brest, France, on 8-9 April 2025. This annual meeting offers an informal environment to exchange ideas on the use of mathematical techniques in the field of genetics.
The general call for abstracts, for both oral and poster presentations, opens on January 6th, with all submissions relevant to statiscal genetics welcome.
Abstract submission is now closed!
We have three exciting invited speakers confirmed for the meeting:
Céline Bon – Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France
Talk title - Using Ancient DNA to Unveil the Genetic Diversity of Neolithic Populations in the Paris Basin: Interactions Between Farmers and Hunter-Gatherers
Beatriz C. D. Cuyabano - INRAE – GABI, Université Paris Saclay, AgroParisTech, France
Talk title - The challenges of variance components estimation in the multi-omic era
Garrett Hellenthal – University College London, UK
Talk title - Leveraging haplotype sharing patterns to infer overlapping admixture events among populations
Here are a few themes that we would like to encourage:
Genetic Epidemiology
• Genetics of cancer
• Pleiotropy
• Multifactorial Disease
• Multi-Omics
Statistical and Population Genetics
• Ancient DNA
• Under-represented populations
• Non-human (plants, animals, microbes…) studies
• Population structure in biobanks
• Causal Inference
Bioinformatics
• Structural variants
• Long-read sequencing
• Summary Statistics
Retrospective
• 10 years on, how the field has changed since the last EMGM in Brest in 2015
The local organising committee includes Anthony Herzig, Gaelle Marenne, Aude Saint Pierre, Ozvan Bocher, Hervé Perdry, and Vincent Calvez. Abstracts will be judged and the program will be compiled by the local organisers alongside non-local members of the scientific committee: Myriam Brossard (Toronto), Florian Privé (Aahus), and Simone Rubinacci (Helsinki).
The conference will take place at the Université Bretagne Occidental in the Faculté des Lettres et Sciences Humaines (20 Rue Duquesne, 29200 Brest) which is in the center of the city.
Brest has an international airport, notably with many daily flights to Paris CDG as well as other destinations in Europe (https://www.brest.aeroport.bzh/destinations-en-vols-directs). There is also a train station with many direct trains to Paris each day (bear in mind that it is a 4-hour journey). A wide range of accommodation is available in Brest: https://www.brest-metropole-tourisme.fr/en/organiser/dormir/hotels/.
A conference dinner will be planned for April 8th
For more information about attending or sponsoring the conference, please contact Anthony Herzig (anthony.herzig@inserm.fr).
The EMGM2025 is supported by the Réseau Thématique Math Bio Santé (CNRS), the PERP Maths-Vives, the Association Gaétan Saleün, and La Region Bretagne
