Greetings, everyone -

I'm sending this information on behalf of Deana Erdner, with our 
apologies for cross postings.

Regards, Judy

We would like to inform you of a topical session at the upcoming ASLO 
summer meeting in Victoria, B.C., that may be of interest to ISSHA 
members:

TS-G04 - "Genomics" Without a Genome
Organizers: Deana Erdner, WHOI, derdner at whoi.edu and Sonya Dyhrman, 
WHOI, sdyhrman at whoi.edu

This session will explore the generation and use of "post-genomic" 
technologies (e.g. transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) with 
organisms for which full genome sequences are not available. Aquatic 
ecology has undoubtedly benefited from the genome sequencing of 
several key organisms. However, the majority of researchers in marine 
and freshwater systems work with non-model organisms with little 
prospect of a full genome sequence. Nonetheless, many have made 
considerable advances without the availability of a complete genome 
sequence. Methods and approaches such as expressed sequence tags, 
global expression profiling, proteomics, and metabolomics are 
advancing our knowledge of aquatic organisms and ecosystem function. 
Here we invite abstracts that involve the use of post-genomic 
methodology for elucidating the functioning of both organisms and 
ecosystems.

Please contact the organizers if you have any questions, and note 
that the deadline for abstract submission is this Friday, January 
20th. Thank you!
