Dear Colleague:

The meeting will again offer the satellite sessions and workshops which
took place at Plant & Animal Genome XVII.  The meeting draft for
PAG-XVIII and abstracts from PG-I through PAG-XVII are available on the
PAG website listed below. The exhibits and posters will now take place
in the Grand Exhibit Hall, adjacent to the California room. We are no
longer using the lower level parking facility.

We are requesting that all abstracts be submitted electronically. The
abstract deadline is MONDAY, November 2, 2009; extended to allow for
the new registration process. The abstract submission website is now open.

All attendees looking to submit an abstract will be required to pay the
registration fee PRIOR to submitting their abstract. You will be
assigned an attendee ID# which will be issued once you complete the
on-line registration process. You can look up your ID# on the PAG
website at:

          http://intl-pag.org

You will be required to provide your attendee ID# to complete the
on-line abstract submission process.

Due to severe delays in getting VISAs to enter the United States, we
recommend that you plan ahead and do NOT wait for your abstract
acceptance to begin the process.  DO NOT WAIT.

All researchers presenting posters must pre-register for the meeting to
have their abstract printed in the final meeting program. Tha abstract
deadline is MONDAY, November 2, 2009. Registration is available via the
Internet using our secure on-line registration form listed below.
