Past
program
We are pleased to host the 25th annual meeting on genome science, The
Biology of Genomes, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 and
run thru lunch on Saturday, May 12.
The 2012 meeting will address
DNA sequence variation and its role in molecular evolution, population
genetics and complex diseases, comparative genomics, large-scale studies of
gene and protein expression, and genomic approaches to ecological systems.
Both technologies and applications will be emphasized. In addition there
will be a special session on the ethical, legal and social implications of
genome research.

Abstracts
should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically
by the abstract deadline. Selection of material
for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and
individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted
on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
NEW! Pre-meeting workshop: Working with ENCODE Data. On May 8th, there will be a pre-meeting workshop on accessing ENCODE data using different genome browsers. Click here for more details.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are
likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from
government and industry to partially support graduate students and
postdocs. Apply in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
stating need for financial support - preference is given to those
submitting abstracts.
We
look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor in May.
This conference
is supported in part by funds provided by:
National Human
Genome Research Institute
We have funds to
provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent
residents from minority
groups under-represented in the life sciences.
Please provide justification in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to
those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
