Session: High Throughput Biotechnologies

The session "High Throughput Biotechnologies" is for scientists and engineers who are advancing genomics and proteomics, where "high throughput experimentation" involving DNA microarrays (and other other "labs on a chip"), TAP-TAG, and SAGE take center-stage. We will seek contributions from scientists and engineers who are developing these technologies for purposes related specifically to diagnostics, genome-scale analytical measurement of RNA and/or protein abundance, gene discovery, and related areas. Reports of new applications of existing high-throughput screens and analytical quantification technologies in the life sciences will also be considered.
