Submissions - LORNE GENOME CONFERENCE 2027

Abstract submissions are now open for Lorne Genome 2027.

All presentations (oral or posters) will take place within the historic Lorne Theatre.

As the conference is being delivered exclusively in person, we are unable to accommodate virtual presentations.

Presenting at Lorne Genome 2027 provides an excellent opportunity to share your research, contribute to scientific discussion, and engage with leading experts in the field.

Our delegates represent a highly experienced and knowledgeable community, fostering valuable peer-to-peer learning and collaboration. We encourage researchers at all career stages to submit an abstract and contribute to the scientific program.

By presenting your work, you can:

• Showcase your latest research and findings

• Gain constructive feedback from peers and experts

• Expand your professional network

• Enhance your presentation and communication skills

• Increase the visibility and impact of your research

Chromatin Structure and Epigenetic Regulation

Focus: Chromatin structure, nuclear organisation, histone modifications and variants, and epigenetic mechanisms controlling genome function.

Computational Genomics, Systems Biology and AI

Focus: Computational and systems-level approaches to genomic data, bioinformatics, multi-omics integration, AI and machine learning.

Epigenetics and Genome Stability

Focus: Epigenetic and chromosome-based mechanisms governing DNA damage responses, genome maintenance, chromosome integrity, and inheritance.

Evolutionary, Population and Comparative Genomics

Focus: Genome variation and evolution across individuals, populations and species, including comparative, environmental and evolutionary genomics.

Gene Expression in Cellular and Developmental Contexts

Focus: Dynamic regulation of gene expression during development, differentiation, cell-state transitions, the cell cycle, and tissue specification.

Genomics of Cellular Dysregulation and Transformation

Focus: Aberrant genome regulation, epigenetic reprogramming, genomic instability, and mechanisms underlying pathological states and aging

Innovative Genomics Technologies and Methods

Focus: Emerging experimental and analytical technologies that enable new ways to measure, manipulate, image and interpret genomes and their regulation.

Mechanisms of Transcriptional Regulation

Focus: Mechanisms of transcriptional control, transcription factors, promoters and enhancers, chromatin interactions, and transcriptional machinery.

RNA Biology and Genome Regulation

Focus: RNA function, processing and regulation, non-coding RNAs, RNA–chromatin interactions and RNA-mediated control of gene expression.

Lorne Genome 2027 offers opportunities for both oral and poster presentations.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and assessed on scientific quality, relevance, and alignment with the conference themes. Successful submissions will be allocated to the program accordingly.

Please note that while presentation preferences will be considered, they cannot be guaranteed. Due to the limited number of speaking opportunities available, some abstracts submitted with a preference for an oral presentation may be allocated a poster presentation. We appreciate your understanding.

This year Lorne Genome 2027 is using Sessionboard for the abstract submission process.

Please note that you will need to create a separate submitter profile in Sessionboard. This is independent of your conference registration profile.

During the submission process, please select one option from each of the categories below.

Additional Information

If applying for an Award, you must provide the relevant supporting documentation as part of your submission. For further information visit the Awards page.

Before submitting your abstract, please note the following requirements:

You must be a registered and fully paid conference delegate for your abstract to be accepted into the program.
You must consent to the publication of your abstract as part of the conference proceedings and promotional materials, where applicable.

On successful submission of your abstract, you will receive confirmation via email.

^{*If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk or spam folder*}

If you need to amend your abstract before the submission deadline, simply log back into your Sessionboard submitter profile an update your submission.

Changes can only be made prior to the submission deadline. Once submissions have closed, any amendment requests must be directed to the Conference Organiser.

Please bring your printed poster to the conference.

Poster specifications: Maximum size: 1.0 metre wide × 1.2 metres high

Recommended format: A0 portrait orientation

Posters will be displayed on numbered poster boards. Velcro will be supplied and available at your designated poster board. Your allocated poster number will be sent to you in the lead up to the conference.

Due to the nature of the Lorne Genome 2027 Program, Poster Presenters must display and take down their posters at their allocated time slots.
