GMOD is very pleased to announce the keynote speaker for the 2013 GMOD community meeting is Dr. Kentaro Yoshida from the Sainsbury Lab (
http://tsl.ac.uk), talking about the Open Ash Dieback effort. This pioneering bioinformatics project is employing two increasingly important paradigms--open access to data and crowdsourcing--to gather genetic analyses of ash and a fungal pathogen that is threatening tree populations in the UK. Expect an interesting and inspiring talk!
If you are interested in attending remotely, we will be using Go To Meeting (

Look forward to seeing you all in Cambridge!
