Bay Area Biosystematists (BABS) Meeting
Tuesday evening, 22 May 2012
at UC Davis, 1022 Life Sciences Building
"PHYLOGENOMICS AND SYSTEMATICS"
The genomics era holds great promise (and challenge) to systematics. There
is the prospect of generating sequence data that will provide unprecedented
resolution of phylogenetic relationships across the Tree of Life, and a much
improved understanding of the tempo and mode of evolution. Join us for two
talks on phylogenomics, along with plenty of discussion, leavened by pizza
and beer.
Featuring presentations by.
HOLLY BIK, Postdoctoral Researcher, Eisen Lab, UC Davis Genome Center
"Phylogeny-based taxonomy assignments from environmental metagenome data"
(Note updated title)
and.
BASTIEN BOUSSAU, Postdoctoral Fellow, Huelsenbeck Lab, UC Berkeley
"Methods of phylogenetic inference for genome-scale data sets"
Schedule and venue:
5:30 pm: social gathering with beverages (beer and soft drinks) and
informal
pizza dinner: cost ca. $10, to be collected at door, 1022 Life Sciences, UC
Davis campus.
7:00 - 9:00 pm: talks, followed by discussion, in same room.
Reservations required for beverages and dinner (but not the talk). Please
email reservations to your host, Phil Ward: [email protected] by Sunday,
May 20
