Presents a Symposium on
Global Analysis of Complex Genetic
Systems

Symposium Description
Recent advances in bacterial, fungal, plant, animal, and human genome projects
have elevated genetic research to a new level. In concert, emerging computational
and experimental tools have provided novel strategies to investigate biological
processes across organisms on a genomic scale. Experts from divergent fields
will present exciting new developments in bacterial, plant, and animal functional
genomics and bioinformatics. Presentations will include gene expression profiling
of cancer, transcriptional analysis of plant embryos, genome-wide analysis
of transcription factors in Arabidopsis, metabolic reconstruction across bacteria,and
the identification of genetic variation in humans. The goal of this eclectic
symposium is to provide a cross-section of activities in this exciting field
to students and researchers with an interest in genomics.
Poster Session
Program participants who wish to present a research poster (4'x4')
are invited to do so. Please email a poster title to the Genetics Program Office
(genetics@pilot.msu.edu) no later than
April 2, 2001. Graduate students from the Genetics Program at Michigan
State University are particularly encouraged to present their work.
