Ecological Genomics

As genomic tools increase in their accessibility, researchers are rapidly applying these to basic questions about how organisms evolve and adapt in natural environments, and how the content of an organism's genome affects its current distribution, abundance, and interactions. These questions describe the natural ecology of species and define the new field of ecological genomics. This workshop is intended to bring together scientists who are using genomics to understand the basic ecology of organisms (model and non-model species) and who are developing new tools to make genomic approaches accessible for species lacking sequenced genomes, for outbred genotypes, or for experiments in natural environments.
