Hi folks, Registration for BioC2009, to be held 27-28 July 2009 at the FHCRC in Seattle WA USA, is now open. The conference is divided into two components: scientific talks and practical computer sessions: https://secure.bioconductor.org/BioC2009/ The speakers for the scientific talks are listed as well as roughly half of the titles and abstracts for these talks. A list of some afternoon practicals is also available and content for both the talks and the practicals will be updated shortly. There are some scholarships, travel funds etc. available, so follow the appropriate link and submit an application if you are interested. Those wanting to present practicals, please e-mail biocworkshop AT fhcrc DOT org with the title and an abstract for your session. There is a nominal 30 April deadline for proposals and all applications will be assessed by the BioC2009 program committee to determine acceptance. Best wishes, Patrick
