We are excited to announce the 19th iteration of the Bay Area Population Genomics Conference, sponsored by Personalis Genomics.
If you registered on line you are all set! Please also join the BAPG google group to stay in the loop in the future!
COVID19 policy: We expect everyone to be vaccinated and if possible to take a rapid test before coming to BAPG. While inside the building we encourage everyone except the speaker to wear a mask. It is optional for the speakers.
PARKING: is free on the weekends at all A and C parking spots. Please check the map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gXviAXUVCCgZrXvvz4c9pIe4qnxtrLGO/view
Roth Way and Roth Way Garage are particularly close places to park.
