ITMI Worksession of Plant Genome III (January 18,1995; San
Diego, California)
The International Plant Genome III Conference will take place January
15-19, 1995 at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, California. A
2.5 hour worksession for ITMI has been scheduled on Wednesday, Jan.
18, 3:30 to 6:00 pm. The session is designed to provide a forum for
open discussion of application and problems involved with tools and
technologies relevant to genome mapping in the Triticeae. Several
individuals will make brief introductions to specific tools or
practices, such as PCR techniques (RAPDs, microsatellites, STS, AFLP)
or gene tagging, and their applications to mapping in the Triticeae.
After each, discussion and comments from participants will be
encouraged.
No specific registration for the worksession is required, but
participants must be registered for Plant Genome III. For
registration costs and procedures and program information for Plant
Genome III, contact: Scherago International, Inc. at 212-643-1750
(telephone), 212-643-1758 (fax), or scherago@biotechnet.com

ITMI International Public Workshop (September 1-3, 1995;
Norwich, England)
First announcement. The 1995 ITMI International Public Workshop will
be held September 1-3 (finish 12:30 pm) at Norwich, England, hosted
by the John Innes Centre following the annual meeting of the Society
for Experimental Biology (SEB), August 29-31, 1995, at Queen's
College, Cambridge. Direct transport from Cambridge to Norwich will
be available. The Workshop agenda will include progress reports by
ITMI coordinators on the status of genome mapping in wheat and other
species of Triticeae and oral and poster presentations on research
results in mapping and application of mapping technology. Please
respond to the ITMI Management Office (address and communication
information is given above), if you wish further information on the
Workshop as it is developed.
