Subject: Conference: Italy. Open Comput Landscape Genetics. Oct12-14
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 07:29:58 -0500
*Open computational landscape genetics* session
at the
*Open Source Geospatial Research & Education Symposium (OGRS) 2016*
http://2016.ogrs-community.org
*October 12-14*, 2016
Perugia, Italy
- Organizer: OGRS 2016 steering committee
(http://2016.ogrs-community.org) led by Dr Ivan Marchesini, National
Research Council, IRPI, Italy
- Conveners of the session on Open computational landcape genetics:
Stéphane Joost, Solange Duruz
*Goals of the session*:
- Gather together people involved in the development of open software
applications used in the field of population and landscape genetics or
in other subfields of evolutionary biology with a geographic dimension.
- Unique opportunity for the scientific community active at the
intersection of computer science, evolutionary biology and geographic
information science to present recent or previous works, to share
knowledge and to discuss the main advantages and drawbacks of developing
open source software solutions.
- Take stock of the situation as regards different challenges for open
computational landscape genetics (e.g. whole genome sequence data,
training of biogeoinformaticians, effective use of computational
landscape genetic solutions in conservation programmes)
Keynote speakers
- Prof. Riccardo Rigon, University of Trento, Italy
- Prof. Maria Antonia Brovelli, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
The call for short papers (1000-1500 words) is open until *July 4, 2016*.
