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should contain only new and unpublished material and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

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.
