Conference Program

Abstract Submission Guidelines

The 11th Conference of the Human Genetics and Genome Research Institute invites you to contribute to its scientific content by submitting an abstract for possible inclusion in the conference program.

Please follow the abstract guidelines below, to help you through the submission process. Submit your abstract before the end date of submission (31st August 2025). And please mention whether you want it to be an oral presentation or a poster 

  • Please submit your abstract as a Word file.
  • The abstract file name should be named clearly as follows, your first and surname, followed by the presentation title.
  • Use Arial Font 12, single line spacing and full justification for the borders.
  • Submit your abstract before the end date of submission (31st August 2025)
  • Abstracts not in the correct format will be returned to the submitting author.
  • The submitted abstracts are not editable, so make sure you are submitting the final revised version, otherwise, if you need to amend anything in your abstract, you will have to resubmit a new abstract.
  • Each Candidate is allowed to submit only one abstract

  • A brief title that clearly indicates the content of the contribution (maximum of 30 words).

    Please avoid abbreviations in the abstract title. Abbreviations may be used if they refer to gene names using the standardized nomenclature, and in the body of the abstract if defined when first used. Do not use capitals or capitalize words that are not nouns.

Please ensure that your abstract summarizes your entire contribution in one paragraph (maximum of 300 words). Do not use section headings, but ensure that the content is structured.

Diagrams, illustrations, tables, references and graphics are NOT permitted.

Qualities of a good abstract embodies the following structure:

  • Uses an introduction-body-conclusion structure in which the parts of the report are discussed in order: purpose, research questions, methods, findings, conclusions, recommendations.
  • Can be understood without reading the paper.
  • Provides a condensed and concentrated version of the full paper.
  • Does not contain citations.
  • Does not contain lengthy background information.
  • Should contain actual research results and should not be a study/research protocol only.
  • Focus on the relevance, novelty and contribution to the field that the research is reporting.

 

Check grammar and spelling, sentence construction and punctuation before submission. Ensure that abbreviations are defined when used for the first time and then use the abbreviation in the rest of the abstract. Only use abbreviations if the term is used two or more times. Ask another person to carefully proofread and check your abstract for flow and content, as well as the details above.
