The fourth Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory/Wellcome Trust
conference on Genome Informatics will be held at the Hinxton
Hall Conference Centre on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus
in Hinxton, UK. The meeting will begin on the evening of
Wednesday September 22, and finish after lunch on Sunday,
September 26, 2004
The focus for this conference is large-scale genomic informatics.
Biology is an experimental science that is experiencing an
explosion of new data. This requires biologists to increase
the scale and sophistication in the information technology
used for their research. The conference scope encompasses
the management and the analysis of these data, such as whole
genome comparisons within and among species and strains,
the analysis of results from high throughput experiments
to uncover cellular pathways and molecular interactions,
and the design of effective algorithms to identify regulatory
sequence motifs. The conference brings together the leading
scientists in this growing field, and we strongly encourage
researchers from other large-scale information handling disciplines
to attend. The majority of oral presentations will be drawn
from openly submitted abstracts.
All registrations and abstracts MUST be submitted by the
abstract deadline, June 30, 2004. Late registration
may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting
is not oversubscribed. In the event of over subscription,
every effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish
to participate will be represented. Status (talk/poster)
of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions
have been made by the organizers.
