ADNAT (http://www.adnat.in/) is a society of professionals interested in promotion of various DNA technologies and their applications in health care, agriculture, biology, law and social welfare with emphasis on ethical, social, and legal implications of these technologies. The ADNAT has close to 600 members from all over the country and abroad, comprising of research scientists and scholars from universities, institutes, hospitals, nursing homes, forensic laboratories and corporate bodies.
The ADNAT holds a national convention every year with a two-day symposium and a 15-day residential training course on new DNA technologies. The idea behind all ADNAT conventions are that the symposiums are based on themes that surrounds around the use of these technologies.
Human genomics researches have pushed us at the time when precision medicine started to become a reality. In the same line, the history of modern human and their interaction with archaic humans has added immense information to our knowledge of population interaction. The last five years has witnessed the publication of incredible number of ancient genomes. Such revolution has brought many complex population histories which was unknown to the world. #ADNAT2023, with the theme - Translating the Human Evolutionary History to Precision Medicine, consisting of the following 8 sessions, strectching over for a period of 3 days, aims at emphasizing the iimportance of Evolution in the Era of Precision Medicine.
Session 1.The Prehistoric DNA revolution and archaic introgression
Session 2. Evolution and Epidemiology
Session 3. The modern DNA Evolution
Session 4. Evolution of Complex traits and disease genetics
Session 5. Genomic selection and Adaptation
