From sherlock from genome.stanford.edu Tue Jul 29 01:00:09 2008 From: sherlock from genome.stanford.edu (Gavin Sherlock) Date: Tue Jul 29 12:35:16 2008 Subject: [Arrays] MGED 11 Meeting, Trentino, Italy : Final abstract submission deadline is August 5th Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, Apologies if you receive this more than once. The MGED 11 final abstract submission deadline is next Tuesday, August 5th. Further information on MGED 11 is available at http://www.mgedmeeting.org/ Registration will stay open up until the meeting begins. The scientific focus of the meeting will be high throughput technologies - in particular microarrays and ultra high throughput sequencing - and associated data handling issues, analysis techniques and standards. We have lined up some outstanding speakers who will be giving talks on these topics. Continuing from last year, we will again be running a poster competition, with prizes for the best posters presented by graduate and postdoctoral students. We look forward to seeing you all in Trentino, Sincerely, The Microarray and Gene Expression Data (MGED) Society ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MGED 11 Program Sunday 31st Aug. 15:00 - Registration and Exhibit Area are open Monday 1st Sept. 07:30- Registration opens 08:30- 09:00 Welcome, Introduction and organization details: Chris Stoeckert, Catherine Ball, Cesare Furlanello ENCODE Session 09:00-10:00 Keynote Lecture: Piero Carninci 10:00-10:45 Plenary Lecture: Barbara Wold 10:45-11:15 Break 11:15-12:00 Plenary Lecture: Shirley Liu 12:00-12:30 Talks from Submitted abstracts (2) 12:30-14:00 Lunch Wine Genomics Session 14:00-14:45 Plenary Talk: Claudio Moser 14:45-15:30 Talks from Submitted abstracts (2) 15:30-16:00 Break 16:00-16:45 Plenary Talk: Duccio Cavalieri 16:45-17:45 Keynote Talk: Grant Cramer 18:00-20:00 Welcome cocktail 21.00 Public Science Conference I Tuesday 2nd Sept.
