Dear Colleagues,

Apologies if you receive this more than once.

It is the pleasure of the MGED society to announce that registration for th=
e  MGED13 meeting in Boston,
Massachusetts, USA, which will take place July 13-15, 2010, in
conjunction with the 18th Annual ISMB meeting, is now open.  Abstract submi=
ssion will open shortly.

Further information is available at http://www.mgedmeeting.org/ and key dat=
es are:

Registration Opens: March 9th
Abstract Submission Opens: March 26th
Deadline for Abstract submission for consideration as an oral presentation:=
 May 1st
Notice of acceptance: May 15th
Early registration ends:  May 28th
Abstract submission closes: June 30th

The scientific focus of the meeting will be translational genomics and ultr=
a high throughput sequencing - as well
as associated standards, data handling issues and analysis techniques.  We =
will have tutorials again this year,
including two tutorials on the analysis of high throughput sequencing data =
- one using unix based tools, and one
using R and Bioconductor.  Note, there will also be some available travel f=
ellowships for students.

We have already lined up the following outstanding speakers (a preliminary =
program is available at the end of
this email):

Keynotes (confirmed)

- Eric Lander, Broad Institute, USA (joint Keynote with ISMB)
- George Church, Harvard Medical School (joint Keynote with ISMB)
- Eric Schadt, Pacific Biosciences, USA

Plenary Speakers (confirmed):

- Maja Bucan, University of Pennsylvania, USA
- Rick Bushman, University of Pennsylvania, USA
- Howard Chang, Stanford University, USA
- Roderic Guigo, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain
- Frank Holstege, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands
- Tom Hudson, Ontario Cancer Research Institute, Canada
- Aviv Regev, Broad Institute, USA
- Jay Shendure, University of Washington, USA
- Keith Baggerly, MD Anderson Cancer Center, USA

Tutorials and Workshops (confirmed):

Analysis of High Throughput Sequencing Data - Cole Trapnell, Angela Brooks,=
 Steffen Durrinck
RNA-seq data analysis using R and Bioconductor - Angela Goncalves and Gabri=
ella Rustici, EBI, UK
Workshop: Meta-analysis of Genomic Data - Aedin Culhane, DFCI, Misha Kapush=
esky, EBI, Kasper Lage, MGH, Soumya
Raychaudhuri, Broad
Workshop: MAGE-TAB Annotation Workshop - Ravi Shankar, Stanford; Helen Park=
inson, EBI

In addition, this year we will again be selecting half of the plenary speak=
ers from submitted abstracts, to
encourage greater participation in the MGED community.  Continuing from las=
t year, we will again be running a
poster competition, with prizes for the best posters by graduate and postdo=
ctoral students.

We look forward to seeing you all in Boston,

Sincerely,
Gavin Sherlock
On Behalf of The MGED Society
