The American Society for Human Genetics 2013 Annual Meeting was held this week in Boston. Starting from Tuesday and going through Saturday, there are ancillary meetings both before and after (and Life Technologies had an Ion World event the two days prior). As one of the two ‘main event’ trade-show exhibits for the genomics tool-providers (the other being the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology in Marco Island FL every February), you can learn a lot by walking around and talking to different vendors.
