3rd ANNUAL ARTHROPOD GENOMICS SYMPOSIUM As more arthropod genomes are sequenced, we are faced with the ever-growing need for databases and bioinformatics tools based on common platforms to support comparative genomics. The Arthropod Genomics Consortium was formed to address these issues. The first projects focus on databases and tools for literature annotation. You are invited to join the fun as we share our progress with the arthropod research community, by providing feedback on these projects and input new possibilities. DATE: June 11 to 14, 2009, in Kansas City at the Marriott Downtown SPONSOR: K-State Arthropod Genomics Center, Kansas State University TENTATIVE SCHEDULE: Thursday evening, June 11 - Keynote presentation and welcome reception Friday & Saturday, June 12 and 13 - Platform and Poster sessions Sunday am, June 14 - Roundtable discussion with the ArthropodBase Consortium. Noon, Sunday, June 14 - Activities will conclude. Speakers who are experts in arthropod genomics and bioinformatics with applications in genomics will be announced soon! Additional speakers will be selected from contributed posters. Demonstrations: Database and bioinformatics tools developers will be available at the meeting to provide hands-on demonstrations. Visit our website, www.k-state.edu/agc, for updates as details are finalized. Share this announcement with colleagues and students!
