Intl PAG-IX Large Insert DNA Libraries Workshop

Sunday Morning, 14 January 2001 --- 9:00 am - 11:45 am

Large Insert DNA Libraries and Their Applications Workshop - Golden West Room

Organizers:

No more important discipline has dawned in the past decade than genomics. Biology has entered the genome era. "Changes that will have effects comparable to those of the Industrial Revolution and the Computer-based Revolution are now beginning. The next great era, a genomics revolution, is in an early phase" (Science Vol. 279, 27 March 1998, p2019).

Large-insert DNA libraries are crucial and essential genetic resources for genomics research. In this workshop, we shall strive to share technologies, knowledge and progress in large-insert DNA library development and applications in research of structural, functional and evolutionary genomics. Given the tranportability of such technologies and knowledge from one species to another, the workshop will have general and wide impact on genomics research of plant and animals.

This workshop will emphasize large-insert DNA libraries and their applications in integrative physical mapping, positional cloning, genome microsynteny and development of DNA markers closely linked to genes and QTLs of interest.

OPEN FORUM ON LARGE-INSERT LIBRARIES:

At the conclusion of the invited talks, there will be a one-hour forum for individuals to present their research involving large-insert libraries. For example, you may want to communicate recently completed work, or to present and draw attention to a poster presentation. This forum will include RESERVED time slots, and, if available, UNRESERVED time slots. Each slot will be limited to 5 minutes and 5 slides.

RESERVED SLOTS: Individuals wishing to reserve a time slot should send an e-mail to either of the workshop coordinators:

monosom@tamu.edu or hbz7049@pop.tamu.edu

UNRESERVED SLOTS: At the Workshop, the nonreserved slots will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
