Ecological
Genomics Journal Club
Genomics for
Ecologists and
Ecology for Geneticists and Molecular Biologists
Theme: Spanning the
Biological Hierarchy from Genes to Ecosystems
The Ecological Genomics Journal Club encourages involvement from new
participants in a variety of disciplines. The Ecological Genomics Journal Club
meets on Tuesdays, at 4:00 p.m. in 324A Ackert Hall. The group discusses
papers, research and ideas at the intersection of ecology and genomics.
Anyone interested in this emerging field is encouraged to attend.
