April 2012 GMOD Meeting
Immediately following
Biocuration 2012 |
__NOTITLE__
The 2012 GMOD meeting will be held April 5-6, in Washington, DC, immediately following Biocuration 2012. If you are unfamiliar with GMOD Meetings, see the writeup of the September 2010 GMOD Meeting to get an idea.

Keynote Speaker
Tentative title: "Navigating genomics resources at NCBI"
Deanna Church, Ph.D., is a staff scientist at NCBI, where she oversees several projects concerning managing and displaying genomic data, including dbVar, a database of genomic structural variation, the NCBI Map Viewer, the Clone database, and the NCBI Remap service. Dr. Church is also a member of the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) an international consortium charged with improving the human, mouse, and zebrafish assemblies, and was an author on the two seminal manuscripts describing the human and mouse genome sequences. She has experience in molecular biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and is currently focusing on making genomic data more useful through large-scale annotation and comparative genomics. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a BA in Liberal Arts in 1990, and received her doctoral degree in the Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine in 1997. She performed postdoctoral work with Dr. Janet Rossant at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
Location
The meeting will be held in the Reiss Science Building at Georgetown University.

Galaxy Workshop

This workshop is generously supported by an AWS in Education grant award
A Galaxy CloudMan workshop will be held the evening of April 5, after the first day of the meeting. In this hands-on workshop, participants will use Galaxy CloudMan to setup a fully populated and scalable instance of the Galaxy data integration and analysis framework. The workshop will use Amazon Web Services' Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Elastic Block Storage (EBS) platforms.
Participants need to bring their own laptops (or partner with someone who brings one).
Please register for the workshop when you register for the meeting. The workshop is free, but space is limited and registration is required.
Please contact Dave Clements if you have any questions.
Logistics
About the meeting space
Apparently, the lecture hall where the meeting will be held is typically kept quite cold (60 degF) so wearing a jacket or sweater is a very good idea.
Hotels
We haven't reserved a block of rooms anywhere. Rather, I suggest you look at the Biocurator meeting's hotel page for places to stay.
Getting There
Feedback
We will solicit feedback from meeting participants at the end of the meeting, and post it here once we have it.
Feedback on previous meetings (March 2011, September 2010, January 2010, August 2009, January 2009, and 2008 and before) has been very positive.
