Now Questions? 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. An
Exciting New Field
Symposium participants will learn about this new interdisciplinary field
from some of the leaders at the forefront of Ecological and Evolutionary
Functional Genomics. Participants will also learn about the new research
initiative in Kansas that includes 30 faculty in nine departments from three
Kansas universities. In addition, NSF program officers will discuss current
and emerging funding opportunities. Present
Your Research
We want to learn about your research too! Bring a poster to the Saturday
session. Poster presentation topics are not limited to Ecological Genomics. Registration
