Introduction:

We were all impacted by the global coronavirus outbreak, and cytogenetic conferences were no different. Both the 24th International Colloquium in Animal Cytogenetics and Genomics (ICACG) in Canterbury and the 23rd International Chromosome Conference (ICC) were scheduled for 2021 in Canberra. A joint gathering appeared to be the most practical choice given the need to switch to an online format and the clear overlap in the topics covered by the two conferences. Therefore, ICC2021 and ICACG2021 convened scientists in the fields of cytogenetics, genetics, genomics, genome organization, and related applied sciences in the biomedical, plant, and animal domains from July 13–17, 2021. Several hundred people attended the gathering, which was a huge success despite its remote location. Following a brief introduction by the organizers, Professor Jenny Graves began the event with an engrossing discussion on chromosomal and epigenetic sex determination on July 13 at 12 p.m. in Canterbury and 9 p.m. in Canberra. The 24th International Colloquium on Animal Cytogenetics and Genomics, which generally adheres to Canterbury time On July 14 and 15, we focused on (ICACG2021), which covered the following subjects: • Animal cytogenetics; • Emerging technologies; • Accessory chromosomes; • Genome evolution; • Chromosome dynamics in germ cells: structure, regulation, and evolution; • Complex, elusive, and functionally significant elements of the genome and more.
