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.

题为“甲壳类基因组学最新进展：两年进展报告”的专题讨论会将于2008年1月2-6日在综合与比较生物学学会(SICB)2008年会议上举行。本次专题讨论会的目的是介绍两年前在SICB举行的一次类似专题讨论会上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年专题讨论会将包括一些发言者和在上届会议上没有派代表参加的甲壳类基因组学项目。通过让研究各种分类群的研究人员参加，这次研讨会将展示基因组学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在科学界代表性较低的团体的成员。本次研讨会上提出的基因组学项目的成果将独立发表，并在一份手稿中总结，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.
