[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he 2012 Workshop on Genomics (previously called the Workshop on Comparative Genomics) is being held from 8-21 January, 2012 in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic. This will be the second time the Workshop will be held in Europe, and the third full-length Workshop. A full schedule can be viewed below. Modifications and additions to the schedule may be made at anytime prior to the beginning of the Workshop, however the overall content and structure will remain largely the same.

In addition, we will be hosting several Advanced Topic Sessions following the core Workshop. These sessions will begin on 23 January (Monday) and continue through the 25th.
