Dear colleague, The 2011 International Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics (IB2011) will take place on March 21-23, 2011 in Wageningen (the Netherlands). This seventh meeting on Integrative Bioinformatics will be of interest to bioinformaticians, computer scientists and all working in, or interested in the developing area of integrative bioinformatics. There will be opportunities to present and discuss methods, theoretical approaches, and their practical applications. We invite you to register for the conference, and to send in an abstract for a presentation at the conference. Accepted abstracts will be invited for a presentation at the conference, and will also be invited to send in a full manuscript, to be published (after peer reviewing) in the IB2011 Special Issue of the Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics. The deadline for sending in an extended abstract is January 15th; submissions should not exceed 4 pages. Authors will be informed of acceptance before February 1st. There are also opportunities for presenting posters and software demonstrations at the Symposium. The deadline for sending in abstracts for posters or a software demo is February 15th, 2011. The best poster will receive an award sponsored by IMBio e.v. The conference website is open for registration and abstract submission, and can be found at www.bioinformatics.nl/ib2011/ and www.imbio.de/ib2011/. We hope to meet you in March in Wageningen. On behalf of the organizing committee, Jack Leunissen Wageningen UR IB2011 is organized by Wageningen University, the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) Gatersleben, and IMBio e.V. == Disclaimer: We have tried our best to remove duplicate e-mail addresses from our mailing list to reduce the amount of clutter in your mailbox. It may nevertheless still happen that you receive this mail via different channels. We apologize if you receive this mail more than once.

Royal Society conference: Modelling networks from sequence to consequence in eukaryotes (March 28-29, 2011)
by Frank Johannes 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Dear list, The Royal Society (London) will host the following upcoming conference: Modelling networks from sequence to consequence in eukaryotes Date: March 28-29, 2011. Summary: The projected benefits of systems biology for understanding variation in human disease susceptibility or sustainable agriculture requires a bottom-up integration of research in genetics, statistics, mathematical modelling, bioinformatics and physiology. The meeting will bring together keynote speakers from the intersection of these disciplines who apply 'systems' approaches to study complex variation in plants, animals or humans. Link to the conference website: http://royalsociety.org/events/modelling-networks/ Keynote speakers: Dr Dirk Husmeier, Dr Arnis Druka, Professor John Whittaker, Professor Chris Rawlings, Professor Tim Aitman, Dr Enrico Petretto, Professor Stig Omholt, Professor Rebecca Doerge, Professor Ernst Wit, Professor Barbara Stranger, Dr Matthew Rockman, Dr Lauren McIntyre and Professor Robbie Waugh.

05 Jan '11

Dear all, the first international *Workshop *on *Comparative and Regulatory Genomics in Plants* will be held at VIB - Ghent University, Belgium from April 13 to 15, 2011. This 3-day workshop will cover the application of different bioinformatics tools to study plant biology. Lectures will introduce the basic concepts of integrative sequence analysis and will be combined with practical sessions. The workshop is in English and open to undergraduate students and PhDs interested in gene and genome evolution, gene regulation & large-scale biology in plants. A series of step-by-step exercises will be used to guide applicants through the different tools and data sources (incl. gene family analysis and pathway evolution, detection of orthologous genes, reading phylogenetic trees, gene colinearity and genome organization, GO enrichment analysis, coexpression analysis and transcriptional regulation). More information including a detailed program is available here: http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/crg_event/workshop/about Best regards, the scientific committee, Klaas Vandepoele /apologies for double postings/ -- Klaas Vandepoele, PhD Tel. 32 (0)9 33 13822 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, Belgium E-mail:Klaas.Vandepoele@psb.vib-ugent.be Website:http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/ --------------------------------------------------------- PLAZA, a resource for Plant Comparative Genomics http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/plaza/ ---------------------------------------------------------
