Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

Evolutionary Biology of Caenorhabditis & other Nematodes conference

Posted on May 19, 2014 2:42:00 PM

 

Conference - Hinxton, Cambridge, United Kingdom

The 2014 Evolution of Caenorhabditis and Other Nematodes conference will bring together scientists studying evolutionary processes in diverse nematode groups.In addition to attracting many researchers studying evolution in Caenorhabditis elegans as model organism (and its closer relatives such as C. briggsae and C. remanei), this meeting will also welcome scientists investigating other free-living groups and the numerous animal- and plant-parasitic nematode species that threaten human health and the global economy.

There will be a strong emphasis on genomic approaches and perspectives. The themes will include experimental evolution, fundamental evolutionary forces, genotype-phenotype relationships, metagenomic analyses, and processes of parasitism. Topics will include, but not be limited to: evolution of complex phenotypes; genome evolution – impact of nucleotide change on genomes, patterns of selection and adaptation; evolution of genome organisation; evolution of sex, recombination and asexuality; evolution of parasitism, pathogens and symbiosis; speciation (genetics, phylogenetics and patterns).
