THE
BIOLOGY OF GENOMES
|
We are pleased to host the 21st annual meeting on genome science, now named The Biology of Genomes, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 and run through lunch on Saturday, May 10.
The
2008 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should contain only new and unpublished material and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 meetings@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 meetings@cshl.edu and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
The
Biology of Genomes meeting is now oversubscribed and
new registrants will be placed on a waitlist.
The email confirmation you receive will simply confirm that
you have registered onto that list.
