[CSBi-events] RECOMB Regulatory Genomics, Oct 11-13, at MIT

[CSBi events]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to participate in the 
2007 RECOMB Satellite conference on Regulatory Genomics, to be
held in the Boston Area, on the MIT Campus, from Thursday evening
till Saturday afternoon, October 11-13, 2007.

The meeting will consist of keynote presentations, oral presentations 
selected from submitted 1-page abstracts, and three poster sessions,
also selected from submitted abstracts (Deadline: Sept 14, 2007).

The goal of the meeting is to bring together computational and
experimental scientists in the area of Regulatory Genomics, to discuss 
latest findings, current research directions, and establish new
collaborations towards a systems-level understanding of gene regulation.

Topics covered include:
* Modeling and recognition of regulatory elements. 
* Gene regulation and comparative genomics.
* Chromatin state and development.
* Post-transcriptional regulation and miRNAs.
* Systems biology of regulatory networks.

Keynote speakers include:
* David Bartel - Whitehead Institute 
* Ewan Birney - Sanger/EBI
* George Church - Harvard University
* Jim Collins - Boston University
* Michael Eisen - LBNL
* Nir Friedman - Hebrew University
* Trey Ideker - UC San Diego
* Michael Levine - UC Berkeley 
* Erin O'Shea - Harvard University

We would be delighted to have you join us, and encourage you to submit
an abstract for a poster or an oral presentation by Fri Sep 14, 2007.

Since RECOMB Satellite Conferences on Regulatory Genomics have been very 
successful in previous years, and we expect a large turnout this year,
we encourage you to register early, as we are limited to 300 people.
