Symposium: Recent Advances in Crustacean Genomics: a 2-year progress report, a Late-Breaking Symposium at SICB 2008 Annual Meeting, to be held January 2-6, 2008 in San Antonio, TX.

专题讨论会题为“甲壳类基因组学的最新进展：两年进展报告”，将于2008年1月2日至6日在综合和比较生物学学会（SICB）2008年会议上举行。本次研讨会的目的是提供两年前在SICB举行的类似研讨会期间正在进行但尚未完成的一些甲壳类基因组学项目的最新情况。此外，2008年的专题讨论会将包括几位发言者和甲壳类基因组学项目，这些项目没有派代表出席上一次统计研究所会议。通过介绍正在研究各种分类群的研究人员，本次研讨会将展示基于基因组学的研究中使用的甲壳类动物模型的多样性，以促进合作努力。演讲者阵容包括初级和高级科学家以及科学界代表性不足的团体成员。本次研讨会上提出的基因组学项目的结果将独立发表，并总结在一份手稿中提交给SICB赞助的期刊之一。

The symposium titled, "Recent Advances in Crustacean Genomics: a 2-year progress report", will be held at the 2008 meeting of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB), January 2-6, 2008. The aim of this symposium is to provide an update on some of the crustacean genomics projects that were underway, but not yet completed, two years ago during a similar symposium that was held at SICB. In addition, the 2008 symposium will include several speakers and crustacean genomics projects that were not represented at the past SICB meeting. By featuring researchers who are studying a variety of taxa, this symposium will showcase the diversity of crustacean models used in genomics-based research in order to foster collaborative efforts. The line-up of speakers includes junior and senior scientists and members from groups underrepresented in science. Outcomes from the genomics projects presented in this symposium will be published independently, as well as summarized in a single manuscript to be submitted to one of the SICB sponsored journals.
