Goal
To share information and develop new approaches that will allow the community to leverage the rapidly growing genomic and genetic resources for the study of ecological and evolutionary processes at the whole organism and molecular mechanistic levels. A further goal would be to help integrate the use of population genomics and the identification of signals of selection in the genome with functional genomics for the identification of genes underlying specific traits involved in adaptive evolution.
