FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EPS Software’s “Wikinome” Accepted as Presenter at the Human Genome Meeting
Houston, TX – December 13, 2015… The software development company, EPS Software Corp. has been accepted as a presenter at the Human Genome Meeting.
President and CSA of EPS Software Corp., Markus Egger, and senior software developer at EPS Software Corp., Dr. Otto Dobretsberger, launched a startup company in the Genome (DAN) Sequencing Space. The company, known as “Wikinome” is still in a non-public startup phase. However, being accepted as presenters at the Human Genome Meeting is a large step in going public for the new company.
Human Genome Meeting (HGM) is the key annual conference organized by the Human Genome Organization (HUGO). Initially structured as a dedicated meeting for Human Genome Mapping, the HGM has evolved into a major scientific conference for human genetics & genomics, genomic medicine, and genomic biology. The HGM is also an excellent platform for industry partners and bio-technology companies as well as pharmaceutical giants. The HGM is optimally sized to provide scientific depth and breadth, and also close interaction amongst the delegates. Because HUGO is not locked in any specific continent or focused on any single country, our HGM conferences take place in a wide range of host countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. Therefore, the HGM is the truly global genomics conference.
Wikinome’s presentation will cover next generation DNA sequencing based on scalable cloud technologies specifically designed and developed to deal with the issues typical bioinformatics laboratories are confronted with, allowing faster and more efficient ways to conduct NGS data analysis.
The Human Genome Meeting takes place in Houston, Texas from February 28 – March 2, 2016 at the Hilton Americas. Additional information may be found at www.hugo-hgm.org
About HUGO
Human Genome Organization (HUGO) is the international organization of scientists involved in human genetics. HUGO was conceived in 1988, at the first meeting on genome mapping and sequencing at Cold Spring Harbor. From an initial group of 42 scientists from 17 countries, HUGO has increased its membership to almost 2,000 members, from over 92 countries in a period of only two decades. Over the years, HUGO has played an essential role behind the scenes for the human genome project. With its mission to promote international collaborative efforts to study the human genome and the myriad issues raised by our increasing knowledge of the genome, HUGO has had noteworthy successes in some of the less glamorous, but nonetheless vital, aspects of the human genome project.
As a truly international organization, HUGO has refocused its efforts towards the medical implications of genomic knowledge. Looking forward, HUGO is working to enhance the genomic capabilities of the emerging and developing countries of the world. The excitement and interest in genomic sciences in Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa are palpable and our hope is that these technologies will help to aid national development and worldwide health.
