We are
pleased to host the 26th annual meeting on genome science, The Biology of
Genomes, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 and run
through lunch on Saturday, May 11.
The 2013 meeting will address
DNA sequence variation and its role in molecular evolution, population
genetics and complex diseases, comparative genomics, large-scale studies of
gene and protein expression, and genomic approaches to ecological systems.
Both technologies and applications will be emphasized. In addition there
will be a special session on the ethical, legal and social implications of
genome research.

Abstracts
should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted
electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection
of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers
and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be
posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the
organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are
likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from
government and industry to partially support graduate students and
postdocs. Apply in writing to Demetria Mudar (dmudar@cshl.edu) stating need for
financial support - preference is given to those submitting abstracts.
We
look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in May.
This conference
is supported in part by funds provided by:
National Human
Genome Research Institute
We have funds to
provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent
residents from minority
groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please
provide justification in writing to Demetria Mudar (dmudar@cshl.edu)
and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying
who submit abstracts to the meeting.
