Building Skills and Resources for Genomics, Epigenetics, and Bioinformatics Research for Africa: Report of the Joint 11th Conference of the African Society of Human Genetics and 12th H3Africa Consortium, 2018.

The 11th Congress of the African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG) was held from September 16, 2018 to September 21, 2018, in conjunction with the 12th Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Consortium meeting in Kigali, Rwanda. The event was organized by the AfSHG in partnership with the Rwanda Society of Human Genetics and the University of Rwanda. A 2-day workshop on the application of next-generation sequencing technologies for analyzing monogenic disease in African populations was organized as part of the conference (September 22, 2018-September 23, 2018, Kigali, Rwanda).

Complete Genome Sequences of 20 Nontyphoidal Isolates from Rwanda.

Nontyphoidal strains are major foodborne pathogens with global public health importance. Foodborne salmonellosis can be life-threatening, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We report the complete genome sequences of 20 nontyphoidal strains isolated in Rwanda.
