Genomics Cannot be Done Alone:
Working together for a better world
Friday, November 9, 4:10 – 5:00 pm
1005 GBSF, Genome Center Auditorium, UC Davis
reception to follow
Hosted by the Office of Research and
The Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology
This presentation by Huanming Yang, Ph.D., co-founder and chairman of BGI—formerly known as the Beijing Genomics Institute—provides an overview of the past, present, and future of BGI. Dr. Yang reviews the origins of BGI with the sequencing of 1% of the Human Genome Project at a time when China was unrecognized in genomic sciences. He describes the significant impact that BGI’s first-ever sequencing and sharing of the entire rice genome had on advancing rice research and its potential impact on global health. Additional breakthrough sequencing projects completed by BGI, many conducted in collaboration with the global research community, are presented. Professor Yang emphasizes BGI’s mission of sharing its extensive next-generation sequencing capacity and bioinformatics capabilities with the goal of promoting the advancement and application of global genomics.

Bay Area Biosystematists meeting at #UCDavis, 25 Oct
BAY AREA BIOSYSTEMATISTS (BABS) MEETING
Thursday evening, 25 October 2012
at UC Davis, 2346 Storer Hall (lecture in 1322 Storer Hall)
“PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF SPECIES INTERACTIONS”
Species interactions, from predation to symbiosis, play an important role in shaping the evolutionary histories of focal taxa. Therefore, it is essential that analyses of such interactions be conducted in a phylogenetic framework. Join us for two stimulating talks on this topic, along with plenty of discussion, leavened by pizza and beer.
Featuring presentations by…
D. LUKE MAHLER, Postdoctoral Fellow, UC Davis
Ecology and Macroevolution in Island Lizards: Have Species
Interactions Left a Mark on Phylogenetic Patterns of Trait Evolution in Anolis?
SANTIAGO RAMIREZ, new faculty member in Evolution & Ecology, UC Davis
Phylogenetic, Comparative, and Genomic Approaches for Studying Coevolution in a Plant-Pollinator Mutualism
Schedule and venue:
5:30 pm: social gathering with beverages (beer and soft drinks) and informal pizza dinner: cost ca. $10, to be collected at door, 2346 Storer Hall, UC Davis campus.
7:00 – 9:00 pm: talks, followed by discussion, in 1322 Storer Hall (1st floor lecture auditorium).
Reservations required for beverages and dinner (but not the talk). Please email reservations to Phil Ward psward@ucdavis.edu by Tuesday, October 23

Parking is available in the West Entry Parking Structure, immediately west of Life Sciences. If coming from the Bay Area take the Hwy. 113 exit off I-80, and then the first exit off Hwy 113, which is Hutchison Drive. This will bring you directly to the parking garage. Or, as Google Maps would say:
All are welcome, members or not. If you want to join the
Biosystematists, sign up for our mailing list at:

See you in Davis!
