Scientific Overview
The study of evolution is being transformed by advances in
next-generation sequencing technologies. Evolutionary biologists are
now facing major computational and statistical challenges in the
analysis of such massive datasets as whole genomes from multiple
species, genomic variation within populations, genome-wide expression
data, and environmental samples. The goal of this workshop is to bring
together experts from biology, mathematics, and computer science to
survey ongoing developments in evolutionary genomics and foster
collaborations across these fields. Topics covered will include:
genome evolution, comparative genomics, phylogenomics, tree of life
projects, and metagenomics.
This workshop will also include a poster
session. A request for posters will be sent to registered participants
in advance of the workshop.
