ALGAC 2026 proudly presents a forward-looking programme shaped by our theme, “Genomes Across Landscapes: Integrating Multi-Kingdom Genomics for a Resilient Africa,” which highlights the power of integrating plant, animal, microbial, viral, and environmental genomics to strengthen Africa’s scientific and societal resilience. This theme reflects our commitment to bridging disciplines, fostering innovation, and advancing research that addresses both emerging challenges and long-term sustainability across diverse ecosystems.

We invite abstracts aligned with (but not limited to) the following subthemes:

• Human Genomics, Adaptation & Health
• Livestock, Wildlife & Aquatic Genomics
• Plant & Crop Genomics
• Pathogen, Vector & One Health Genomics
• Bioinformatics, Big Data & Computational Genomics
• Landscape Ecology, Climate Change & Environmental Genomics

With a rich line-up of presentations, expert-led discussions, and interactive sessions, the conference offers a dynamic platform for researchers, practitioners, and students to explore how multi-kingdom genomics is reshaping our understanding of biodiversity, health, agriculture, and environmental change. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research, discover new tools and technologies, and build meaningful collaborations across sectors and specialisations.
