Some of the most important goals for current scientific research are the development of approaches to improve human health, produce sustainable agriculture, promote bio-energy, and protect the environment. A unique area that can provide the fundamental bases for achieving these objectives is through an understanding of the ever-evolving genetic makeup of all organisms, which can be achieved through advances in genomics, multi-level Omics and computational biological research.

 The 5th International Conference on Genomics (ICG-V), to be held in Shenzhen, China, November 15–18, 2010, will emphasize the latest advances in genomic technologies, bioinformatics developments, and their relevant biological findings, with a focus on how progress in these areas will impact our lives.

ICG - V 2010 will be the fifth gathering of old friends and new friends from all over the world in a variety of research fields. The plenary sessions will focus on development in genomics and bioinformatics technologies. In addition, ICG-V also organizes several workshops on research and application advances in Health, Agriculture, Horticulture, Aquaculture and Ecology, providing communication platforms for all participants. Experts from world top universities, genome research centers and bioinformatics institutions including Broad, Sanger and Bio-IT will provide updates on research progress and present novel research strategies.

We believe that ICG-V will be an exciting event for exchanging views, building collaborations, generating new ideas and expanding friendship to the growing scientific community. We sincerely invite you and look forward to your presence and active participation at the ICG - V 2010.
