2008 Molecular Evolution Gordon Research Conference

分子进化是一个跨学科的，动态的，不断增长的领域，吸引了来自各个领域的研究人员，以合作和综合的方式解决前沿研究。 各种生物体的全基因组序列数据的快速积累引发了分子进化研究的增长。 结果之一是，分子进化现在为生物学中的许多学科提供了信息。2008年戈登分子进化研究会议将突出在人口水平上的分子进化，并将包括会议的主题，如适应景观，进化能力，分子进化和环境基因组学，心脏进化的分子基础，计算和统计的进展等主题。 其目的是汇集来自不同研究领域的研究人员，以新颖和综合的方式探索分子进化中的常见问题。 以前的戈登研究会议在分子进化方面非常成功，因为他们汇集了不同的科学家，他们被一个共同的知识主题团结在一起。拟议的计划旨在继续这一成功的重点多学科方法的前沿课题。

Molecular evolution is an interdisciplinary, dynamic, and growing field that attracts researchers from a wide variety of fields to address cutting-edge research in a collaborative and integrative manner. The rapid accumulation of complete genome sequence data in a variety of organisms has triggered this growth in molecular evolution research. One outcome is that molecular evolution now informs many disciplines within biology. The 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Molecular Evolution will highlight molecular evolution at the population level and will include sessions on topics such as adaptive landscapes, evolvability, molecular evolution and environmental genomics, molecular basis of heart evolution, computational and statistical advances among other topics. The aim is to bring together researchers from a diversity of research areas to explore common questions in molecular evolution in novel and integrative ways. Previous Gordon Research Conferences in molecular evolution have been highly successful because they brought together diverse scientists who are united by a common intellectual theme. The proposed program is designed to continue this successful focus on multidisciplinary approaches to cutting edge topics.
