You are cordially invited to participate in the fifth meeting on Transposable Elements to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin with dinner and the first session on the evening of Tuesday, October 15, 2024, and will conclude with lunch on Saturday, October 19.
A primary goal of the meeting is to provide a forum for the presentation of the latest research into transposable elements.
This meeting will consist of six oral sessions plus one poster session. Sessions will be made up of invited talks and talks selected from the openly submitted abstracts.
Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentations will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. The status of abstracts (i.e., talk or poster) will be posted as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers. Please bring this announcement to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested in participating in the meeting.
Financial Aid: Please apply in writing via email to Jessica Palma if you require financial support; preference will be given to those submitting abstracts.
