Metagenomics Metadata and Metaanalysis
By Iddo on February 9th, 2009
I am a co-organizer of this… see for yourself. Cutting edge metagenomics research, discussion of standards applications to genomics and metagenomics, all in beautiful Stockholm this summer. If you are coming to ISMB/ECCB 2009, consider coming to the M3 SIG. Link to announcement 1-page poster, because you really want to tack this to your departmental […]
