Comparative genomics is a new field of increasing power. Within a decade, we
have moved from having a handful of sequenced species to thousands, and numbers
will continue to increase. This presents enormous opportunities to make
discoveries of biological and medical interest, but also requires new
approaches. The bottleneck is shifting from the time taken to sequence genomes,
to the time taken to decide how to analyse them. However, exciting and novel
results are already emerging. Internationally renowned invited speakers and a
poster session will present cutting-edge developments in this fast-moving and
exciting field.
Support is gratefully acknowledged from: the Scottish Bioinformatics Forum and
the University of St Andrews (Bute Medical School; Centre for Evolution, Genes
and Genomics; Gatty Marine Laboratory; School of Mathematics and Statistics;
and School of Biology).
