> Hi Jim,
>
> Thank you for taking the time to meet with me during my visit to  
> TAMU, and to show me your community annotation efforts. I was very  
> impressed, and it is my belief that community efforts teamed with  
> strong prediction algorithms are the way to make sense of the  
> increasing inundation of genomic material.
>
>
> I would appreciate it if you could forward the following to any  
> interested people you might know, including relevant mailing lists.  
> It is a call for abstracts and participation at the Automated  
> Function Prediciton / Biospaiens meeting that will be held alongside  
> ISMB 2008. We are accepting abstracts fro contributed talks, posters  
> and mini tutorials by march 31. Of course, if you feel you or  
> someone in your lab has  something to contribute, please do send it

> The deluge of genomic information is challenging biologists to  
> annotate this data, from locating genes in the raw data through  
> predicting the function from protein sequence and structure. AFP and  
> Biosapiens share many common goals, and this year we have decided to  
> join forces for a SIG that will deal with a wide scope of gene,  
> protein, and genomic annotations.
>
> Abstracts for talks and posters will be accepted by March 31, 2008.  
> This year we are also considering mini-tutorial submissions. Please  
> see the AFP / Biosapiens site for more information.

> IMPORTANT DATES:
> Talk, tutorial and poster abstracts due: March 31, 2008
> Notification of acceptance: April 20, 2008
> Final abstracts due: May 5, 2008
