Meeting of interest: 16th Evolutionary Biology Meeting at Marseilles

Just got an email about a meeting of potential interest and thought I would share:

It is my pleasure to announce that registration and abstract submission for the 16th Evolutionary Biology Meeting at Marseilles, September 18-21, 2012, is open. Please visit the web site of the meeting http://sites.univ-provence.fr/evol-cgr where you will find all relevant information. 

The following subjects will be discussed:

  • – Evolutionary biology concepts and modelisations for biological annotation;
  • – Biodiversity and Systematics;
  • – Comparative genomics and post-genomics (at all taxonomic levels);
  • – Functional phylogeny;
  • – Environment and biological evolution;
  • – Origin of Life and exobiology;
  • – Non-adaptative versus adaptative evolution;
  • – The « minor » phyla: their usefulness in evolutionary biology knowledge;
  • – Convergent evolution

Looking forward to your participation.

Author: Jonathan Eisen

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis
