We are pleased to announce the fifth Cold Spring Harbor winter biotechnology conference on Systems Biology: Global Regulation of Gene Expression, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Thursday, March 29 and run through lunch on Sunday, April 1, 2007. The conference is intended to foster cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and expertise between experimentalists and computational biologists interested in the organization and control of complex transcription networks in eukaryotes. While a number of speakers have been invited, please note that the majority of oral presentations will be drawn from openly submitted abstracts.

Keynote Speaker:
Uri Alon, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel

Topics:
Genomic Regulatory Elements
Transcriptional Regulatory Networks
Evolution of Transcriptional Regulatory Networks
Epigenetics and Transcription
Analysis of Transcriptional Dynamics in Cells
Post-Transcriptional Processes

Invited Speakers:
David Bartel, Whitehead Institute/MIT
Benjamin Blencowe, University of Toronto, Canada
Patrick Brown, Stanford University
Martha Bulyk, Harvard Medical School
Gloria Corruzi, New York University
Gregory Crawford, Duke University
Ron Davis, Stanford University
Michael Eisen, University of California Berkeley
Michael Elowitz, Caltech
Daphne Koller, Stanford University

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline.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 look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in March.

This conference may be supported in part by funds provided by the National Science Foundation
