	Hi,

	Could you forward this announcement about the Bioinformatics Supergroup to
	your departmental mailing lists (faculty, postdocs, graduate students)?

	Thanks,

	The first meeting for the Bioinformatics Supergroup this year will be this
	coming Monday, September 23, 5 to 6:30 pm in Humanities 150. More details,
	and a map, can be found here:

	http://bayes.colorado.edu/bioinfo/

	To sign up for the Bioinformatics mailing list, send mail with the

	to listproc@lists.colorado.edu.

	This year, the Supergroup will provide a mixture of research talks and
	demonstrations of bioinformatics techniques. The room is wired for
	Ethernet, so bring your laptop and follow along! The goal is to provide
	more communication among labs about useful tools, and to make them
	accessible to researchers who are just getting into the field.

	At Monday's meeting, there will be announcements from James Meiss (APPM)
	about the new Dual Masters Program in Bioinformatics and from Jason Carnes
	(MCDB) about the MCDB Graduate Student Symposium, which will focus on
	genomics this year. Ryan Gill (CHEM E) will talk about the equipment now
	available through the Microarry Core Facility, and I will talk about
	inexpensive and/or free tools for visualizing and mining genomic data.

	A preliminary schedule for the year is attached below.

	Refreshments will be provided through the Signal Transduction and Genetics
	training grants, thanks to Natalie Ahn (CHEM) and Bill Wood (MCDB).

	Hope to see you there!
