3rd International Conference and Workshop

Genomic Impact of Eukaryotic Transposable Elements

Organizer: Jerzy Jurka, Genetic Information Research Institute

Friday, February 24, 2012

15:00-18:00 REGISTRATION (Phoebe A. Hearst Social Hall) (hotel) and (Fred Farr Forum) (conference).
18:00-19:00 Dinner (Crocker Dining Hall)
19:30-23:00 Warm-up party/poster previews (Fred Farr Forum) and preparation of audio-visual (Chapel)

The following equipment will be provided in all sessions: an LCD projector, laser pointer and a microphone. Speakers should load their talks at Chapel in the evening preceding the presentations. There will be a limited time for last-minute testing (30 minutes before the morning session and during breaks). Due to time constraints, all 10-minute talks should be limited to communication of your specific results only. Please, leave 2-3 minutes from your allowed time for discussion. The projected discussion time for 15-minute presentations is 3-4 minutes, and for 25-minute presentations it is 4-5 minutes. The opening speaker for each session is the chairman of that session.
