Organizers: John Eppig, Margaret Fuller, Phillip Newmark
Description: The specific goals of this conference are to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of germ line and gamete development. This meeting is intended to provide a format for the exchange of ideas and information, to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances, and to facilitate the intellectual unification of research on germ cells and related disease states in diverse systems.

Application Deadline: 15 July 2010
http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-worms10.shtml
Description: This course is designed to familiarize investigators with C. elegans as an experimental system, with an emphasis on both classical genetic analysis and reverse genetic approaches. A major goal is to teach students how to successfully exploit the information generated by the C. elegans genome project. The course is suited both for those who have a current training in molecular biology and some knowledge of genetics, but have no experience with C. elegans, as well as students with some prior worm experience who wished to expand their repertoire of expertise. Topics include: worm pushing, C. elegans databases and worm bioinformatics, anatomy and development, forward genetics, chemical and transposon mutagenesis, generation of transgenic animals, expression pattern analysis, reverse genetics, construction and screening of deletion libraries, and RNA inactivation.
October 12 - 23, 2010, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA
Application deadline is August 1, 2010. http://www.mbl.edu/education/courses/special_topics/gern.html
The course is open to graduate students, postdoctoral students and interested faculty. The course follows an intense curriculum of lectures, discussions, laboratory demonstrations of experimental data from which networks can be constructed; and computational problem solving. Subjects included are theory and practice of developmental gene regulatory networks, use of the BioTapestry platform for presentation and analysis of networks; transcriptional regulatory processes; relevant mathematical tools for network analysis; gene network evolution; and what we learn from gene networks in various experimental systems, including Drosophila, sea urchin, Ciona, mammalian hematopoietic and neural crest development. The distinguished faculty this year includes Marianne Bronner, Mike Levine, Ellen Rothenberg, Steve Small, Art Lander, Lionel Christiaen, Hamid Bolouri, Bill Longabaugh, Isabelle Peter, and Dave McClay and
Eric Davidson
