EMBO Conferences 2013

May 2013

May 01 - 04, 2013   New Model Systems for Linking Evolution and Ecology
Heidelberg, Germany   Further information
EMBO-EMBL Symposium. This meeting will present the latest advances with satellite systems, that is, species that are closely related to conventional genetic model organisms, and with entirely new models for evolutionary and ecological genetics and genomics. Special emphasis will be placed on the interaction between organisms as a basis for understanding ecological adaptation. If you want to bring a new species into the genomic era, this meeting is for you.
