upcoming abstract deadline for 2004 CSH plant genomes meeting

Dear Colleague

Announcing the approaching abstract deadline for the Cold Spring Harbor
meeting on
Plant Genomes: From Sequence to Phenome, December 9 - 12, 2004. Details:

[[Only registered users see links. ].

We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed
on all
scientific topics related to advances in our understanding of plant genome
structure and
function. The aims of this meeting are to review progress in genome analysis
of the major
plant groups and to determine the similarities and differences in genome
structure,
composition and function of the major groups of experimental and crop
plants. Please
note that the majority of talks will be selected from openly submitted
abstracts.

We have applied for funds from industry and government to partially support
postdocs/graduate
students. Please apply in writing to Valerie Pakaluk ([Only registered users see links. ])
stating financial need.
