Models and Algorithms for Genome Evolution (MAGE) is an international meeting addressing the interdisciplinary area of genome evolution. MAGE is also celebrating the 50-year career of David Sankoff, a pioneer in computational genomics and biology. The community of computational evolutionary biologists is composed of mathematicians, computer scientists, statisticians, physicists and biologists, all willing to contribute to a better knowledge of the history of life on earth. The plurality of backgrounds yields a plurality of approaches, theoretical and empirical. The organizers represent a diverse international set of researchers at different stages of their careers. While the core of senior and early-career researchers have been invited and accepted, these funds will enable up to 20 students and postdocs to participate in the conference. In addition to the presentations and daily poster sessions, the meeting will also provide input to a book to be published by Springer in its series Computational Biology.

基因组进化模型和算法（MAGE）是一个解决基因组进化跨学科领域的国际会议。MAGE还将庆祝计算基因组学和生物学的先驱David Sankoff 50年的职业生涯。计算进化生物学家社区由数学家、计算机科学家、统计学家、物理学家和生物学家组成，他们都愿意为更好地了解地球上的生命历史做出贡献。背景的多样性产生了理论和经验的多样性。组织者代表了一组不同的国际研究人员在他们的职业生涯的不同阶段。虽然已经邀请并接受了核心的高级和早期职业研究人员，但这些资金将使最多20名学生和博士后参加会议。除了演讲和每日海报会议外，会议还将为b施普林格在其计算生物学系列中即将出版的一本书提供信息。
