Program:
This conference will address molecular strategies by which
lineages of organisms respond to changes in their environment
and explore the idea that organisms have evolved the ability
to modulate the rate, location, and extent of genetic
variation. Jumps in efficiency, made possible by development
of novel evolutionary strategies, could fuel rapid, saltatory,
expansion of species into novel niches as each innovation
evolves. Uncovering the genomic strategies used by pathogens
and tumors will expedite the discovery of new therapeutic
strategies.
