Genomics of Energy & Environment

The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) invites its users and collaborators, as well as prospective new users, to attend the fourth annual JGI User Meeting. This international gathering of researchers with an interest in sequence-based science will offer three days of user presentations, tours, workshops, and poster sessions.

This year's meeting will emphasize the genomics of renewable energy strategies, biomass conversion to biofuels, environmental gene discovery, and engineering of fuel-producing organisms. The meeting will feature presentations by leading scientists advancing these topics.

Keynote Speakers:

• George Church, Harvard University
• Chris Somerville, Energy Biosciences Institute
• J. Craig Venter, J. Craig Venter Institute

Sessions:

• Improving Biomass, its Degradation, and Biofuels
• Genome Evolution and Adaptation
• New Sequencing Technologies and Functional Genomics
• Synthetic Biology

Workshops:

• JGI 101
• IMG Workshop
• Eukaryotic Annotation Workshop
