The meeting page for the 21st Annual International Meeting on Microbial Genomes at Lake Arrowhead is now up. This has been one of my favorite meetings for many many years (full disclosure — I am now a co-organizer and have been for the last few meetings). Note — the meeting is NOT just about genomes — it includes many related topics including just about anything about sequencing (e.g. microbiome studies) and/or microbial *omics. September 18 - 22, 2016. Summary: This conference is…

Workshop in Conservation and Gene Expression. September 19-23, 2016, Asilomar, CA Genomic variation has been a recent focus in conservation of rare and endangered species. However, the immediate response to environmental challenges will likely be determined by gene expression, which will constrain the efficacy of response and the likelihood of population persistence. Nonetheless, gene expression has been poorly studied in natural populations facing environmental and anthropogenic threats. This 5-day workshop at Asilomar, a resort on the central California coast,…
