| The next meeting of the Ectocarpus consortium - A decade of algal genomics - will be held at Ghent University in April 7-9, 2010. The meeting will coincide approximately with the release of the assembled Ectocarpus genome and the publication of the accompanying papers. Previous meetings have served as a forum for researchers working on Ectocarpus or by extension brown algae to present their ongoing research. For the upcoming meeting we are broadening up the perspective towards algal genomics in general. |
