Dear Colleague,

Don't miss the opportunity to participate at Bioinformatics 2007,
the 9th International Northern European Bioinformatics Conference,
taking place from June 4 – 7, in the Aula Nordica on Umeå University's
campus, in Umeå, Sweden.  http://www.bioinformatics2007.conf.umu.se/

The conference starts off with two "crazy ideas that are becoming reality".
In an exciting double-feature keynote lecture you can listen to Ajay K.
Royyuru,
from the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, talking about "The Human
Genographic Project".

Followed by the "Linnaeus lecture" given by Rob DeSalle, from the American
Museum of Natural History, who will tell you about the "Barcoding Life
on Earth"
project.

Both are fitting topics for the year Sweden celebrate the 300th birthday of
Carl von Linné, the "Father of Taxonomy".

In addition we have invited an excellent blend of internationally
renowned speakers,
distributed over six sessions (* see list of speakers and conference
home page).

Submit a poster abstract and you might be selected for an oral presentation
or your poster might win the best poster prize.
Please note: We have extended the deadline for abstract submission to
May 20th.

For more information about the conference and the registration please
visit the
Bioinformatics 2007 home page at:
http://www.bioinformatics2007.conf.umu.se/

The deadline for early registration is extended to May 20th.
Student registration fees: SEK 2600:-,
Regular registration fees: SEK 3800:-

Note: in June, we have almost 24 hours of daylight and the mosquitoes
have not yet hatched!

Please feel free to print the attached Bioinformatics 2007 conference
poster and
place it visibly at your institute and do not hesitate to forward this
mail to your colleagues.

We are looking forward to welcome you in Umeå this June!

With best regards,

 /Uwe Sauer
(on behalf of the local organization committee)
