Conference Comparative & Regulatory Genomics in Plants
Date: 11-12 April 2011 (starting at Monday April 11th, 1PM)
Description
This conference will give an overview of the most recent developments in plant genomics and will discuss the integration of experimental high-throughput data with computational approaches to study gene functions, genome organization and transcriptional regulation. A panel of international invited speakers includes experts in the field of plant next-gen genome sequencing, genome evolution, comparative transcriptomics, ChIP profiling and plant regulatory networks.
Participants are encouraged to submit an abstract and to present their research during the poster session. The Scientific Committee will select 3-5 submitted poster abstracts for a contributed talk.
Following the Conference a 3-day Workshop is organized covering lectures and practical sessions.
