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
