Dear colleague(s),

We are glad to announce that the XVIII Latin American Congress of Genetics (ALAG | 2021), LIV Annual Meeting of the Chilean Society of Genetics, XLIX Argentine Congress of Genetics, VIII Congress of the Uruguayan Society of Genetics, I Paraguayan Congress of Genetics and the V Latin American Congress of Human Genetics will be held from 5 to 8 October 2021. One more time, we reassure our vocation for the integration of unified collaborations in the Latin American field by the performance of six congresses within a single event.

The pandemic and its consequences have led us to decide for a virtual congress, which will allow us to reach a higher number of people from every side of Latin America. If conditions are appropriate, we will perform and broadcast some parts of the Congress from Valdivia, Chile, our original venue for this congress.

We would like to thank the participation of every geneticist that has sent a proposal for the scientific program. This program will be extensive, and it will cover different areas of genetics, with the participation of well-known geneticists who are regional and worldwide leaders in the field.  

Finally, we would especially like to invite students and young geneticists to attend the ALAG | 2021, as it will be an event where you can learn about the current status of genetics in the different areas and new technologies, and also make questions to specialists and share the most recent results.

Hope to see you in October 2021. 

Best regards,
