Come to Denver, Colorado from February 15-16 to hear the latest in
microarrays and functional genomics in a joint MGED-AAAS seminar.  
Analyzing gene expression, gene interactions, and gene organization at a
global level are forming part of the revolution in our understanding that
is represented in functional genomics.  This 2-day seminar will provide
practical discussions for researchers entering the field as well as
stimulating pictures of the future.  The first day, building on the highly
successful MGED-4 (www.mged.org) held at the 2002 AAAS Meeting, will be a
combination of tutorials and talks under the heading Getting Into
Microarrays: Everything You Need to Know.  There will be discussions of
experimental design, standardization, avoiding artifacts and the progress
in data standardization and databases.  Day two will focus on the future
of functional genomics.  Recent advances in understanding the involvement
of RNAs in gene regualation and in building regulatory networks will be
examined by leading researchers. The application of basic research in
proteomics and in microarrays to clinical medicine is coming closer to
reality and we will be discussing the latest findings in these and other
areas.  Find out more at www.aaasmeeting.org
