American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting

October 18 – 22, 2014 (All Day)
  • TBA

The ASHG Annual Meeting is the largest human genetics meeting and exposition in the world. ASHG members and leading scientists from around the world are selected to present their research findings at invited, platform, and poster sessions. ASHG's Annual Meeting also features a trade show floor that offers attendees the opportunity to view state-of-the-art medical and laboratory equipment, products, services, and computer software designed to enhance human genetics research, teaching, and consultation.

Visit us in Booth 525 and sign up for a demonstration of Globus Genomics.

We will be demonstrating Globus Genomics, our software-as-a-service for NGS analysis. Globus Genomics is a flexible, cost-effective service used by researchers at dozens of non-profit research institutions to scale their work using the cloud.

For a limited time, we are happy to provide a free trial of the Globus Genomics platform to qualified researchers at non-profit institutions. Please sign up here and mention the code “ASHG14” in the message box.

We will also be showcasing new capabilities in Globus for describing, curating, and publishing big data sets. Globus data publication features are being used by librarians and digital curators to organize and make research data more broadly available. Stop by and learn how Globus can address all your research data management needs without complex hardware and software.

Presentations and Posters

The Globus team is participating in a number of presentations and poster sessions, as described below. Please stop by—we'd love to discuss our research with you.
