Gene Meyers who is unable to attend the conference.
New Section Added--Due to overwhelming response, a new
section of Peter Schattner's tutorial,
Perl
and Bioperl: Tools for Automated Analysis of Biological Sequence Data,
has been added to the O'Reilly Bioinformatics Technology Conference. The new
tutorial is slated for Monday morning, January 28, 2002.
The O'Reilly Bioinformatics Technology Conference will
feature an informal poster
session. Participation is open to all speakers and registered
attendees of the conference. This poster event provides a relaxed
opportunity for attendees to learn about each others' work, and to meet
face-to-face.
