Bioinformatics and statistical genetics, twin themes of the long-running
series of annual MASAMB meetings (see the archive), have gained huge impetus from
large-scale genome sequencing projects and development of
high-throughput biological assay systems, including gene-expression
microarrays. These immense data resources, and the underlying
complexities of molecular and cell biology, provide exciting
research opportunitities for numerate scientists.
With typically around 60-80 participants from mathematics, statistics,
computer science, bioinformatics, biology and related fields, the MASAMB
meetings provide an intimate setting for exchange of ideas in methodological and
applied research. Research students and scientists newly entering the field of
genomic research are particularly welcome.
The meeting will contain approximately 17
half-hour talks selected from participants' submissions, plus a
poster session. |

Talks on research relevant to the workshop have now been
selected from the call. The meeting will contain 17 half-hour talks selected from the
participants' submissions (submission for talks is now closed). The abstracts (after acceptance) are now published on this web site along with
those for the accepted posters. Speakers will be asked to make their presentation available (optional) in electronic form for inclusion on this website after the meeting (pdf or Powerpoint format). |

Posters (portrait format, maximum depth 120 cm) on research relevant to the workshop are
invited for the poster sessions to be held on both days. Poster abstract submission is now CLOSED. Posters will be displayed from the Monday afternoon break until the close of the Tuesday sessions. The abstracts (after acceptance) will be published on this web site along with
those from the accepted talks. Following the meeting, posters may be published on this web site (pdf format required) |
