Join us at the 47th Lorne Genome Conference at Mantra Lorne, 15–18th February 2026.

The Lorne Genome Conference is the premier forum where the international genome community comes together to share the latest science, reconnect in person, and build new collaborations. Beyond the lecture theatre, the spectacular coastal setting of Victoria creates unique opportunities for informal conversations at social events, a swim at the beach, and encounters with local marsupials and birdlife.

Lorne Genome 2026 showcases an exciting breadth of topics, spanning chromatin structure, architecture and nuclear organisation, gene expression, histone modifications and variants, RNA functions in the genome, the genome in disease and development, epigenetics and genome stability, genome studies in model organisms, population and evolutionary genomics, functional genomics, computational biology and bioinformatics, and novel approaches to study the genome.

Please come and join the genomics community as we share discoveries, spark collaborations, and shape the future of genome biology together. We look forward to welcoming you at Genome 2026.
