Description |
|
| Mathematical and computational tools and concepts form an essential basis for modern evolutionary studies. The goal of the MCEB conference (at its 6th edition) is to bring together scientists with diverse backgrounds to present recent advances and discuss open problems in the field of mathematical and computational evolutionary biology. This year a special focus will be given to the applications to biodiversity in all its aspects: from its conservation to its ecology and evolution; from the diversity within a genome, to that between individuals within a species and that between species in an ecosystem. General concepts, models, methods and algorithms will also be presented and discussed, just as during the previous conference editions. Conference fees including accommodation (4 nights), meals, coffee breaks, buses, etc., will be around 500 €, and will vary depending on the room type. PhD students and postdocs will benefit of the cheapest rooms. Keynote speakers (to be completed): Richard Durbin (Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, UK): Population genomics Nicolas Lartillot (Université de Montréal, CA): Comparative genomics and ecology Arne Mooers (Simon Fraser University, CA): Considering the Tree of Life in Conservation Hélène Morlon (Centre de Mathématiques Appliquées, FR): Dynamics of biodiversity Rasmus Nielsen (University of Berkeley, US): Theory and methods developments in Population Genetics Adam Siepel (Cornell University, US): Genome-wide inference of ancestral recombination graphs Mike Steel (University of Canterbury, NZ): What can we reconstruct from the past? Simon Tavaré (Univ. of Cambridge and Univ. of Southern California ): Cancer as an evolutionary process For more information, visit the website at: http://www.lirmm.fr/mceb2014/ |
