Dear, the first international Conference on *Comparative and Regulatory Genomics in Plants* will be held at VIB - Ghent University, Belgium April 11-12, 2011. 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.
