Dear Colleagues,

Apologies if you receive this more than once.

The MGED 11 final abstract submission deadline is next Tuesday,   
August 5th.

Further information on MGED 11 is available at http://www.mgedmeeting.org/

Registration will stay open up until the meeting begins.

	The scientific focus of the meeting will be high throughput  
technologies - in particular microarrays and ultra high throughput  
sequencing - and associated data handling issues, analysis techniques  
and standards.  We have lined up some outstanding speakers who will be  
giving talks on these topics.

Continuing from last year, we will again be running a poster  
competition, with prizes for the best posters presented by graduate  
and postdoctoral students.

We look forward to seeing you all in Trentino,

Sincerely,

The Microarray and Gene Expression Data (MGED) Society
