From medicago from net.bio.net Sun Oct 17 07:20:58 2010 From: medicago from net.bio.net (medicago@net.bio.net) Date: Sun Oct 17 07:21:17 2010 Subject: [Medicago] Medicago Bioinformatics Workshop 2010 Message-ID: <9F9FBD4CF09A1446BE3EDFA1F3A49E8703B9171D@EXCHANGE.TIGR.ORG> We will hold our first annotation workshop for the Medicago community at the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, MD from December 13-15, 2010. It is expected that participants will arrive on Sunday December 12 and leave in the afternoon or early evening of December 15. The workshop will cover all aspects of the bioinformatics processes and analyses used to assemble and annotate the Medicago truncatula genome, with hands-on experience wherever possible. One goal of the workshop is to launch and provide momentum for our community annotation effort and applicants interested in curating their own gene families, especially large ones, are encouraged to apply. The workshop is supported by our NSF Plant Genome grant and all expenses of US participants will be covered. Applications should be sent to mtruncatula@jcvi.org with the applicant's family name and the word WORKSHOP in the subject line and include a c.v., a statement of research interests and, in the case of graduate students and post-docs, a letter of support from their mentor that can be sent separately. Attendance will be limited to 20 people and it is unlikely that we will accept two individuals from the same institution. Screening of applicants will begin on November 1 and should be complete by November 15. ______________________________ Chris Town Professor The J.
