| 16:00-17:00 (time for this session can be extended if needed for discussion) | Open floor: mini-presentations (5 min. each) by a limited number of speakers interested in the topic. Each speaker will address two specific issues: (1) what are the major classification/nomenclature problems in the particular area of the speaker's expertise, and (2) a proposal how to address them in the context of the International Committee for Classification of TEs (ICCTE). Those interested in making a mini-presentation should email a title to conference@girinst.org by January 15, 2009. |

|
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 |
|
| 7:30-8:30 | Breakfast |
| 12:00-13:00 | Lunch |
|
Due to high interest in the "Genomic Impact of Eukaryotic Transposable Elements", a special issue of Gene devoted to this topic will be published after the conference. Deadline for manuscript submissions is April 30, 2009. Details will be posted on the conference website after the conference. | |
