The Genetics Society of America (GSA) brings several genetics and model organism communities (e. g. C. Elegans Genetics, Ciliate Genetics, Drosophila Genetics, Mouse Genetics, Population, Evolutionary & Quantitative Genetics, Yeast Genetics and Zebrafish Genetics) together at The Allied Genetics Conference TAGC 2016 in Orlando, FL, July 13-17, 2016. This will be the first time that geneticists from a wide variety of fields will attend a joint event. Each community will have its own meeting but also the opportunity to attend plenary sessions of other communities. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The annual President's Symposium will be held on August 17-20, 2015 at Island Wood on Bainbridge Island near Seattle, WA. The meeting will bring together people working on both molecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome evolution in order to stimulate exchange of ideas between scientists with different perspectives. The meeting will start with a reception on the evening of August 17, followed by two full days of talks, and conclude with breakfast on the morning of August 20. Mark Kirkpatrick will present the Key Distinguished Lecture on the theory surrounding chromosome evolution. ... [Information of the supplier]
This conference presents cutting edge research into the importance of polyploidy in genetics, evolution and ecology. It will be distinctive in its small group dynamics, wonderful location and great speakers. There will be three core sessions over two and a half days; these are: (1) the long-term and (2) immediate consequences of interspecific hybridization and polyploidy. These explore effects over deep time and shallower time frames and focus on genetics and epigenetics. The final core session will be: (3) polyploidy in light of ecological genetics. Here we discuss current data showing effects of hybridisation and polyploidy on phenotypes, niche occupation and ecology. Whilst previous polyploidy meetings have been dominated by plant research, there is now much exciting new data from animals and fungi, areas we are particularly keen to encourage. We would also like to encourage early career scientists, to contribute their cutting edge insights into these fast developing and exciting areas. ... [Information of the supplier]
Genomic tools are becoming essential in biological investigations that relate to agriculture, medicine, biotechnology and biodiversity science. Moreover, evolutionary concepts and an evolutionary genomics perspective are becoming central to interpret any new finding in these fields and develop forward approaches for problem solving. The potential of evolutionary genomics is unparalleled as it provides key insights into our understanding of many fundamental and applied questions such as the evolutionary history of life on earth and the molecular bases of adaptation of species in response to environmental changes in natural populations and crop improvement. However, the maturation of evolutionary thinking in these fields involving genomic approaches is an ongoing process and needs to be supported by initiatives that will update key analytical, conceptual and experimental innovations in evolutionary genomics. The objective of the proposed conference is to make such synthesis possible by bringing leaders in the field together to discuss their ongoing research and vision of where the field is moving over the coming years. Accordingly, we aim at fostering the link between functional and evolutionary perspectives towards an integrative approach of evolutionary genomics, and propose a conference with: two sessions on evolutionary systems biology and experimental evolution; one session on genome evolution; two sessions on theoretical and empirical population genomics. Because evolutionary genomics largely focuses on processes (how mutations arise and fix in populations) and systems biology on functions (how mutations are translated into phenotypes), we are convinced that this combination will allow to progress towards a better understanding of evolutionary processes and its applications. Besides this focus on an integrative approach, a second aim of the conference is to bring together evolutionary genomic researchers working on a large panel of organisms, from bacteria to humans, including e.g. plants and fungi, in order to foster the cross-exchange of evolutionary concepts, analytical methods and experimental approaches. ...

Launched in 1993, Access Excellence is a national educational program that provides high school health and biology teachers access to their colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new scientific information via the World Wide Web. In 1999, Access Excellence was donated to the National Health Museum by Genentech, a leading biotechnology company. Access Excellence currently forms the core of the educational component of the National Health Museum Website and will be expanded substantially to better serve the needs of K-12 health educators. ...

Das 1990 gegründete Interfakultäre Zentrum für Ethik in den Wissenschaften (IZEW) ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungszentrum der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. Am IZEW wird das Programm einer "Ethik in den Wissenschaften" verfolgt, das die Frage der Verantwortung bereits in den Wissenschaften selbst thematisiert. Das IZEW will den Dialog zwischen Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften mit Blick auf ethische Fragen fördern. Die wissenschaftsethische Forschung am IZEW umfasst beispielsweise die Gentechnik an Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen, die Umweltethik, die Transplantationsmedizin sowie Grundlagenfragen der Ethik in den Wissenschaften. Weitere Arbeitsschwerpunkte sind der Transfer zwischen ethischer Forschung und dem Bildungsbereich sowie die Dokumentation wissenschaftsethischer Literatur. ... [Information des Anbieters]
