now to attend the 3rd Annual Genes in Ecology, Ecology in Genes Symposium on
November 4, 5, & 6, 2005, in Kansas City. The Symposium will begin on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and conclude on Sunday
at noon. Information will be posted to our website, www.ksu.edu/ecogen, as details are finalized.
Please share this announcement with colleagues and students who are
interested in learning more about the emerging field of Ecological
Genomics. Ecological
Genomics is...
An emerging field at the interface of ecology, evolution, and genomics that
seeks to place the functional significance of genes and genomes into an
ecological and evolutionary context. The Ecological Genomics
initiative in Kansas comprises over 30 faculty members from three Kansas
universities. The
Symposium will feature lectures by scientists at the forefront of Ecological
and Evolutionary Functional Genomics. Oral and poster presentations on
Kansas Ecological Genomics projects will also be included. Present
Your Research
