Call for Abstracts for The 3rd International Conference of Genomics (ICG 2013) The journal Genomics Proteomics & Bioinformatics (GPB) is now inviting conference abstracts for the 3 rd International Conference of Genomics in 2013 (ICG 2013). Genomics has entered a new era when its knowledge and tools are being actively applied to a broad spectrum of research fields, including medicine, agriculture, aquiculture, environment, and energy. The high-throughput technologies employed in genomics studies and the massive information thus generated lead to new conception and ambition, whereas ‘‘discovery-driven’’ or ‘‘data-driven’’ studies co-exist with ‘‘hypothesis-driven’’ studies. Therefore, data sharing, idea exchange, cross-field collaboration, and direct communication are all essential for fast-pace research activities. With this in mind, Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), joining Genetics Society of China and Ocean University of China, organizes the ICG2013 (http://www.icgchina.org/). We are pleased to invite abstracts for this conference and provide a platform to discuss the challenges and future development in this fast-advancing field. The main theme of ICG2013 is the Latest Progress in Genomics. The specific topics include Genome Analysis (human, animal, plant and others), Genome Regulation (ribogenome, epigenome and regulatory networks), Genome Technologies (sequencing technology, single cell technology, databases, software and other bioinformatics tools) and Genome Application (personalized medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, ocean genome and others). The portfolio will be open for incoming abstracts till September 15, 2013. Aside from invited speakers, the Organizing Committee will also select candidates from the submitted abstracts for podium presentations (20 min per talk). The selected speakers will be offered a 30% discount off the registration fee. In addition, some submissions will be selected for poster presentation (presenters should be available during poster sessions). Poster presenters receive a 10% discount off the registration fee. All abstracts for the talks and posters will be collected and published in the conference proceedings.

Call for Abstracts

for The 3rd International Conference of Genomics(ICG 2013)

The journal Genomics Proteomics & Bioinformatics (GPB) is now inviting

conference abstracts for the 3rd International Conference of Genomics in 2013 (ICG 2013).

Genomics has entered a new era when its knowledge and tools are being actively applied

to a broad spectrum of research fields, including medicine, agriculture, aquiculture,

environment, and energy. The high-throughput technologies employed in genomics studies

and the massive information thus generated lead to new conception and ambition, whereas

‘‘discovery-driven’’ or ‘‘data-driven’’ studies co-exist with ‘‘hypothesis-driven’’ studies.

Therefore, data sharing, idea exchange, cross-field collaboration, and direct communication

are all essential for fast-pace research activities. With this in mind, Beijing Institute of

Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), joining Genetics Society of China and Ocean

University of China, organizes the ICG2013 (http://www.icgchina.org/).

We are pleased to invite abstracts for this conference and provide a platform to discuss

the challenges and future development in this fast-advancing field. The main theme of

ICG2013 is the Latest Progress in Genomics. The specific topics include Genome Analysis

(human, animal, plant and others), Genome Regulation (ribogenome, epigenome and regulatory

networks), Genome Technologies (sequencing technology, single cell technology, databases,

software and other bioinformatics tools) and Genome Application (personalized medicine,

traditional Chinese medicine, ocean genome and others). The portfolio will be open for

incoming abstracts till September 15, 2013.

Aside from invited speakers, the Organizing Committee will also select candidates from

the submitted abstracts for podium presentations (20 min per talk). The selected speakers will

be offered a 30% discount off the registration fee. In addition, some submissions will be

selected for poster presentation (presenters should be available during poster sessions). Poster

presenters receive a 10% discount off the registration fee. All abstracts for the talks and

posters will be collected and published in the conference proceedings. Quality submissions

will be invited for publication in a conference special issue in our journal.

Abstracts can be submitted via email at [email protected]. The template for abstract is

available on http://www.icgchina.org/. Please format your abstract accordingly.

For further information on abstract submission, please contact the Editorial Office of

GPB at [email protected] [(86)10-84097425] or the Organizing Committee at icg_2013@
