May 17 Advanced Reg Deadline: GO Annotation Training July 12-14

[Karen Christie]

Hello,

If you are interested in attending the GO Annotation Camp to be held at
Stanford University this summer, please note that the Advance Registration
deadline of May 17th is fast approaching. If you register by May 17th, the
cost of your lodging will be covered by the Stanford Genetics Department.
Registration will remain open until June 23rd, but those registering after
May 17th will be responsible for the cost of their own lodging.

The training portion of the Camp will be three days long from 9 am
Wednesday, July 12th until 5pm on Friday, July 14th. Below there are links
to the working schedule, general information, and the registration page.

Similarly to the 2005 GO Annotation Camp, this will be a practical
workshop focusing on the process of making GO annotations from the
research literature. Much of our time will be spent reading research
articles and using tools to browse the ontologies to determine as a group
the appropriate GO annotations that can be made from a given paper. Note
that this workshop will NOT deal with any bioinformatic methods including
automated or computational methods of making GO annotations via sequence
similarity comparisons.

Registration is required for organizational purposes, but there is NO
registration fee. If you register by May 17th, the Stanford Genetics
Department will cover your lodging costs provided you make your
reservation with one of our designated hotels.  If you register later than
May 17th, you are still welcome to attend, but we will not cover your
lodging costs. General information, the working schedule, and the
registration form are available from the links below.

If you would like to attend the training portion of the camp, please
register as soon as possible to facilitate our planning, and no later than
May 17th if you wish for us to cover your lodging costs. If you will cover
your own lodging costs, you may register until June 23rd. If you have any
questions, please contact me (kchris at genome.stanford.edu).
