Hello all,

Below is an announcement that went out to the larger GMOD community about GMOD related content at Plant and Animal Genome in a week.

Some particular highlights for the Galaxy Community are * Dan Blankenberg's hour long seminar on Galaxy on Wednesday, * Anne-Francoise Adam-Blondon's talk on the GnpIS portal * and the INRA posters on using Galaxy for SNP detection (#188) and using Galaxy in the GnpIS portal (#805).

See http://gmod.org/wiki/PAG_2011 for details and links.

Also, if you are presenting work that uses Galaxy at PAG (or any other conference), please feel free to post that to the list as well.

Thanks,

Dave C
