Save the dates of April 10-13, 2008, and make plans to attend the.. 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. Keynote speakers: Thom Kaufman, Fly Base and Bruce Schatz, BeeSpace Indiana University Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign April 10 - 13, 2008, in Kansas City at the Marriott Downtown Sponsored by the K-State Arthropod Genomics Center, Kansas State University TENTATIVE SCHEDULE: Thursday late afternoon/evening, April 10 Workshop: Databases and Bioinformatics Tools for Arthropod Genomics Demonstration room: Database and bioinformatics tools developers will be available throughout the meeting to provide hands on demonstrations. Friday & Saturday, April 11 & 12 Platform and Poster sessions. Speakers to include experts in arthropod genomics and bioinformatics with applications in genomics. Additional speakers selected from contributed posters. Visit our website, www.k-state.edu/agc, for updates as details are finalized. Share this announcement with colleagues and students!
