We are pleased to host the 22nd annual
meeting on genome science, The Biology of Genomes, which will begin at 7:30
pm on Tuesday, May 5, 2009 and run thru lunch on Saturday, May 9.
The 2009 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only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by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.
This meeting is now heavily oversubscribed and we ask for your
forbearance while we work through the difficult task of prioritizing
attendees. CSHL and the meeting organizers want to ensure the fairest
representation from genome labs. Therefore please register AND ask your
PI/labhead to complete the following:
