Just a reminder…that the deadline for poster/abstract submission for the 6th Annual DOE Joint Genome Institute Genomics of Energy & Environment meeting (http://go.usa.gov/g4N) is rapidly approaching: February 21.
The meeting brings together, in JGI’s hometown of Walnut Creek, California, an international network of researchers interest in: Synthetic Biology, Ecogenomics and Ecoresilience of the Gulf Oil Spill, Hardware and Software Trends in Genomics Supercomputing, Computational Approaches to Massive Short Read Metagenomic Data Sets, Genomics of Biofuel Crops, Behavioral Genetics of Pollinating Bees, Microbiome Analyses from Humans to Shipworms, Metatranscriptomics of Marine Microbial Communities, Successful Transposable Elements Secrets, and Great Prairie Soil Metagenomics.
Confirmed speakers: Peer Bork, (European Molecular Biology Laboratory), Ed Buckler, Cornell University, Dan Distel, Ocean Genome Legacy, Dusko Ehrlich, French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), Terry Hazen, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Scott Hodges, University of California, Santa Barbara, Tom Juenger, University of Texas at Austin, Rob Knight, University of Colorado, Ruth Ley, Cornell University, Mary Ann Moran, University of Georgia, Magnus Nordborg, Gregor Mendel Institute, Gene Robinson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Christopher Scholin, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), Stephan Schuster, Penn State University, Pam Silver, Harvard, Jim Tiedje, Michigan State University, Mike Thomashow, Michigan State University, Jerry Tuskan, Oak Ridge National Laboratory/DOE JGI and Katherine Yelick, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC).
