[Cyverse.Nappn] Fwd: REGISTER NOW for PIRS Mini-Symposium Apr 3-4 2019 - Novel candidate gene discovery by computing on phenotypes

[Carolyn Lawrence-Dill]

Registration (free) is now open for:

*"Novel candidate gene discovery by computing on phenotypes” *

April 3-4, 2019 — ISU’s Alumni Center in Ames, IA

*FREE REGISTRATION: https://phenomics.iastate.edu
<https://phenomics.iastate.edu>*


The primary goals of the meeting are:

   - to convene scientists interested in discovering & computing on
   phenotypes, especially phenotypes that are similar across large
   evolutionary distances and/or diverse organisms (“phenologs”)
   - to generate ideas and focus groups for developing future
   collaborations and grant proposals


Our  research goal is to develop integrated computational and experimental
approaches for identifying underlying similarities in biological processes
across diverse organisms (e.g., Arabidopsis to zebrafish to human).  Talks
and posters from both computational biologists who focus on “phenomics” and
experimental biologists who work on compelling biological problems in model
organisms.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
Todd Vision (UNC, Chapel Hill) <- Keynote
Maura McGrail (ISU)
Jeanne Serb (ISU)
Jianming Yu (ISU)
Justin Walley (ISU)
Ian Braun (BCB/P3, ISU) <- Graduate student
Claire McWhite (University of Texas) <- Graduate student

*Wed Apr 3*
AM - Talks (keynotes, short talks) & poster session
Noon - Lunch provided
PM - Talks, focused discussion groups  & poster session

*Thurs Apr 4*
Optional Tours of ISU Facilities (e.g., Enviratron, Plant Transformation
Facility)

This mini-symposium is supported by an ISU Presidential Interdisciplinary
Research Seed Grant (PIRS)
awarded to: Diane Bassham (PI), Carolyn Lawrence-Dill, Matthew Ellinwood,
and Drena Dobbs.
