The New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology and the French funding agency EGIDE have jointly funded the Dumont D'Urville* Workshops on Applied Evolutionary Bioinformatics. The first of these workshops will be held as a satellite session of Evolution 2007, from 24 - 27 June 2007 at the University of Canterbury's field station in Kaikoura, a scenic peninsula 3 hours' drive north of Christchurch.
The workshop will focus on areas of research in evolutionary bioinformatics (including phylogenetics, evolutionary genetics and genomics, molecular evolution of pathogens and epidemiology, biodiversity, statistical modelling, algorithmics, and software development) that have an applied focus.
