The Organizing Committee ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ More detailed information: This will be the first time the EMBnet's Annual General Meeting will take place outside of Europe, bringing together bioinformaticians from all over the world, together with the Iberoamerican Annual General Meeting, and representatives of other major Bioinformatics societies in the World. We will give official birth to the Iberoamerican Bioinformatics Society. Tri Institutional Professor Chris Sander (http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/11655.cfm ), an authority in bioinformatics and founder of the field will give a keynote lecture at the conference. The conference is open to submissions. The main topics will be: High Throughput Technologies, the Interface of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology and Open Software for Bioinformatics, but we are accepting submissions in all areas of bioinformatics (such as genomics, proteomics, trancriptomics, metagenomics, data and text-mining, ontologies, education and e-learning tools available in Bioinformatics, among others) --See the Abstract guidelines--. Additionally, selected papers will be reviewed and published on the "EMBnet.news 15.4" (EMBnet.news is a quarterly publication with a peer reviewed research section indexed by PubMed (starting from 15.4), devoted to research, projects, events, news and announcements related with the bioinformatics, biomedical and in general to the "bio-" and "omics-" communities & industry all-over the world). All information dealing with submitting abstracts, registration and hotel booking can be found in the site of the conference at: http://www.embnet.org/EMBnet-RIBio2009 Don't miss the deadline of this exciting conference in a wonderful setting in the Mexican Caribbean!
