2023 Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

项目总结 我们的会议有三个主要目标：(1)解决最近基因组数据可获得性的增加 产生惊人的机会在基因组水平上探索物种进化和种群变化，从 模式物种和非模式物种的比较基因组学到群落或宿主内的基因组相互作用-- 病原体共同进化。(2)扩大现有基因组资源的范围，并解决我们的 社区将应对即将到来的数据洪流带来的挑战，包括如何鼓励 研究是合乎道德的、公开的和可获得的。(三)突出生态和进化基因组学 社区可以支持和告知世界各地生物多样性面临的重大挑战，特别是与气候有关的挑战 和栖息地的变化。我们希望这个GRC将解决与NHGRI相关的关键问题，包括 多学科讨论如何在人类和模型中进化和种群基因组学 有利于医学研究，生态基因组学如何帮助应对气候变化的挑战 以及如何将机器学习的新进展融入进化和种群基因组学。 我们注意到，这个GRC历史上一直是许多NHGRI资助的研究人员的重要聚会场所 交流思想并提出新的工作，以推动对人类健康和进化的创新和洞察。 在会议之前，将举行为期一天的戈登研究研讨会，重点是早期职业生涯 我们社区的研究人员(研究生和博士后)。这对初级研究人员来说是一个机会 在欢迎的气氛中展示他们的工作，与他们的同行交流，并与受邀的人建立网络 资深嘉宾。研讨会解决了下一代外地领导人的具体需求，而主要 会议为所有参与者提供了一个社区聚集在一起回顾最先进的和 发展生态和进化基因组学的未来。我们正在申请资金以抵消旅行费用。 服务不足和代表性不足社区的受训人员和主要受邀演讲人的费用。

PROJECT SUMMARY Our conference has three main goals: (1) To address how the recent increase in genomic data availability generates amazing opportunities to explore species evolution and population changes at the genomic level, from comparative genomics of model and non-model species to genomic interactions within communities or host- pathogen co-evolution. (2) To broaden the scope beyond existing genomic resources and address how our community will meet the challenges generated by this incoming deluge of data, including how to encourage research that is ethical, open and accessible. (3) To highlight how the ecological and evolutionary genomics community can support and inform major challenges faced by biodiversity worldwide, especially linked to climate and habitat changes. We expect that this GRC will address key issues relevant to NHGRI, including multidisciplinary discussions of how evolutionary and population genomics in humans and models can benefit medical research, how ecological genomics can help address the challenges of climate change and how to incorporate new advances in machine learning for evolutionary and population genomics. We note that this GRC has historically been an important meeting place for many NHGRI-funded researchers to exchange ideas and present new work that fuels innovation and insights into human health and evolution. The conference will be preceded by a one-day Gordon Research Seminar, which focuses on early career investigators in our community (graduate students and postdocs). This is an opportunity for junior researchers of the field to present their work in a welcoming atmosphere, exchange with their peers, and network with invited senior guests. The seminar addresses the specific needs of the next generation of field leaders, while the main conference gives all participants a place where the community comes together to review the state-of-the-art and develop the future of ecological and evolutionary genomics. We are requesting funds to offset the travel expenses for trainees from underserved and underrepresented communities and key invited speakers.
