AMATA changes its ‘long name’ from “Australasian Microarray and Associated Technologies Association” to Australasian Genomics Technologies Association” to more accurately reflect its role in the rapidly changing genomics arena, switching much of its focus to 2nd Generation DNA Sequencing (2GS) technologies. The acronym “AMATA” however shall remain for branding and legal reasons.
