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.

分子进化是一个跨学科、动态和不断发展的领域，它吸引了来自不同领域的研究人员以协作和综合的方式解决前沿研究问题。各种生物全基因组序列数据的快速积累引发了分子进化研究的这种增长。一个结果是，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种群水平的分子进化，并将包括诸如适应性景观、进化性、分子进化和环境基因组学、心脏进化的分子基础、计算和统计进展等主题的会议。其目的是将来自不同研究领域的研究人员聚集在一起，以新颖和综合的方式探索分子进化中的常见问题。以前的戈登分子进化研究会议非常成功，因为它们将不同的科学家聚集在一起，他们通过一个共同的智力主题团结在一起。拟议的课程旨在继续成功地关注前沿话题的多学科方法。
