Program:

Deep Green, an NSF-sponsored Research Coordination Network (RCN) is holding a workshop/discussion session to increase productive interactions between plant genomic and phylogenetic biologists. Phylogenetic analysis is central to all interpretations of gene families and for functional comparisons among genomes, while genomics is providing unprecedented opportunities for learning about the evolutionary histories of genes, genomes, and organisms.
