The twelfth Cold Spring Harbor conference on Systems Biology: Global Regulation of Gene Expression will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and begin at 7:30 pm on Sunday February 26 and run through lunch on Thursday March 2, 2017. The original plan was to hold the meeting in the Dominican Republic, but CSHL and the organizers have made the decision to relocate the meeting back to Cold Spring Harbor because of the growing emergence of Zika throughout much of the Caribbean.

The conference is intended to foster cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and expertise between experimentalists and computational biologists interested in the organization and control of complex transcription networks in eukaryotes. While a number of speakers have been invited, please note that the majority of oral presentations will be drawn from openly submitted abstracts.
