The Biennial Meeting of the Pan American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology

进化发育生物学（EvoDevo）领域位于 进化生物学与与人类健康直接相关的几个领域的交叉点， 包括发育生物学、遗传学、基因组学和生理学。主要目标 EvoDevo 与这些以生物医学为重点的领域相同；了解如何 基因型产生表型。然而，与传统的发育遗传学不同， 这很大程度上依赖于人类在少数模式生物中引起的变异， EvoDevo 利用类群之间自然发生的变异来链接基因型和 表型。为了实现这一目标，EvoDevo 工作人员应用了现代发育、遗传、 适用于广泛的模型和非模型生物的基因组和生物信息学工具。 泛美进化发展学会的使命 生物学（PASEDB）是： 1) 在美洲为 EvoDevo 发声并进行推广， 2）为员工之间建立沟通与协作提供论坛 领域和相关学科，3) 促进 EvoDevo 的培训和教育， 相关学科。 PASEDB成员看到EvoDevo的持续活力和成长 社区对于与以下领域直接相关的几个领域的进步和创新至关重要 人类健康。 PASEDB 还坚定致力于实现适当的 妇女、少数种族/族裔、残疾人和其他人的代表性 传统上在科学领域代表性不足的个人。主要方式 PASEDB 正在通过组织两年一次的会议来解决这些问题 代表该领域不同领域的知名研究人员和受训人员 可以见面交流想法。 PASEDB 正在请求 NIH 资金来部分抵消 博士后学者、研究生和本科生的出勤费用 学生参加我们两年一次的会议。

The field of Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EvoDevo) sits at the intersection of Evolutionary Biology and several fields directly relevant to human health, including Developmental Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Physiology. The main goal of EvoDevo is the same as these biomedically-focused fields; to understand how genotype gives rise to phenotype. However, unlike traditional developmental genetics, which relies largely on human-induced variation in a small number of model organisms, EvoDevo utilizes naturally occurring variation between taxa to link genotype and phenotype. To accomplish this, EvoDevo workers apply modern developmental, genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic tools to a broad range of model and non-model organisms. The mission of the Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology (PASEDB) is to; 1) provide a voice for, and promote, EvoDevo in the Americas, 2) provide a forum for establishing communication and collaboration between workers in the field and related disciplines and, 3) promote training and education in EvoDevo and related disciplines. The members of PASEDB view the continued vitality and growth of the EvoDevo community as essential to progress and innovation in several fields directly relevant to human health. PASEDB is also strongly committed to achieving appropriate representation of women, racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in science. The main way PASEDB is addressing these concerns is by organizing a biennial conference where established researchers and trainees representing a diverse cross-section of the field can meet to exchange ideas. PASEDB is requesting NIH funds to partially offset the cost of attendance for postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduate students to our biennial meetings.
