Modern population genetics has undergone significant expansion, particularly resulting from genomics and increased computational power. Most of all, the applicability of population and evolutionary genetics approach in conservation of species and medicine highlights the contemporary population genetic research.
All species, from prokaryotes to humans, are inevitably related through evolution of their genomes at molecular and population levels. They all share different environments with a complex network-like interaction. This symposium will explore how theory, empirical data, and methodological approaches from diverse fields, including ecology and evolutionary genetics, reveal the processes of macroevolutionary patterns. The aim is to present and discuss state-of-the-art results, theoretical developments, understanding and methodology across the whole range of population and evolutionary genetics. The meeting welcomes the results from micro-organisms to humans, livestock, crops, and natural and experimental populations of all species.
From the list of pre-announced eminent speakers we expect to hear of the new frontiers and latest breaking results in population end evolutionary research approaches in conservation genetics and medicine.
The Second Symposium of Population and Evolutionary Genetics, being held from 9 to 12 May 2012 sponsored by Serbian Ministry of Education and Science. The Symposium is organized by Serbian Genetics Society and under the auspices of The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
