past program

The third Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory/Wellcome Trust conference on Interactome Networks - Mapping macromolecular interactions in the cell will be held at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK. The meeting will begin in the afternoon (3 pm) of Wednesday August 29, 2007, and end with a banquet on Saturday evening September 1, with normal departure on Sunday morning.

The conference will address topics including ORFeome and other clone resources; Y2H and other binary assay maps; pull-down mass spectrometry approaches; finishing orthogonal binary assays; assembly/annotation: integration with phenotypic, transcriptome and localization clustering data; domain-domain networks; and interaction-defective genetics. We aim to bring together senior and junior investigators, postdoctoral and (post)graduate researchers in a range of disciplines to share existing research and experience. As is usual for regular CSHL meetings, the majority of short talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts.

Topics include:
ORFeome and Other Resources
Binary Interaction Maps
Co-Complex Membership Maps
DNA/Protein Networks
Assembly, Annotation, Visualization
Data Integration & Interactome Modeling
Domain-Domain Networks
Interaction Defective Genetics

Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material. 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 website as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers. Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested.

We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. All registrations and abstracts MUST be submitted by the abstract deadline, June 6, 2007. Late registration may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting is not oversubscribed. In the event of over subscription, every effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish to participate will be represented. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.

We look forward to seeing you at Hinxton in August.
