MIEP08

The conference "Mathematics and Informatics in Evolution and Phylogeny" will be held on June 10-12, 2008 in Hameau de l’Etoile, Montpellier area, France.

The subject is evolution, which is considered at different scales: sequences, genes, gene families, organelles, genomes, and species. The focus is on the mathematical and computational tools and concepts, which form an essential basis of evolutionary studies. Recent years have witnessed rapid progress in this area, with models becoming more realistic, and complex, and with fast algorithms able to deal with the large datasets that are available today.

Non-exhaustive list of topics:
  phylogenetics,
  evolutionary genetics and genomics,
  molecular evolution of pathogens,
  epidemiology,
  biodiversity,
  statistical modelling,
  algorithmics,
  software development,
  ...

The program will include short talks (typically 20 minutes) and plenty of time for discussions. If you are planning to attend, you have to register on this web site. As the number of attendees will be limited, we recommend registering quickly, and to submit a title and abstract if you are willing to talk. Poster sessions will be organized if we have too many propositions.

This conference is a continuation of:
  Mathematics of Evolution and Phylogeny (2003 and 2005)
  Dumont D’Urville Workshop on Applied Evolutionary Bioinformatics (2007)
  Phylogenetics programme at Isaac Newton Institute (2007)
