2014冷泉港亚洲会议：进化遗传学及基因组学

由冷泉港亚洲主办的“2014冷泉港亚洲学术会议：进化遗传学及基因组学”将于2014年10月8日-12日在苏州独墅湖会议酒店举行。

会议介绍：

We are pleased to announce Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Evolutionary Genetics and Genomics which will be held in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Wednesday October 8, and will conclude after lunch on Sunday October 12, 2014.

The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in evolutionary biology. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.The conference is timely in light of the recent decision by China to make Ecology and Evolution "Tier 1" subject, on par with medical sciences, biology and agriculture. 

Evolution is the central theme in biology, but genomic tools allow new insights into the mechanisms and patterns of evolutionary change. This meeting will provide a format for the exchange of ideas and advances in evolutionary biology and genomics. Particular emphases will include the application of genomic approaches to study population diversity, new findings about adaptation and speciation, and our nascent understanding of the role of genetic interactions in the evolutionary process.
