European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)|European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Symposium : A New Age of Discovery for Aquatic Microeukaryotes 2016 is organized by European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and would be held during Jan 26 - 29, 2016 at EMBL Heidelberg - Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. The targected audience for this medical event basically for Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Genetics.
New discoveries about the microbial eukaryotes (protists) are advancing rapidly through the targeted exploration of cultured isolates and whole communities using molecular sequencing and imaging techniques in concert with evolutionary theory and geochemical analysis.
Three major contributions to microeukaryote biology, ecology, and evolution that are catapulting the field forward are the Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP), the Tara Oceans Expeditions, and the Malaspina Expedition. Although these three efforts focused on marine organisms, they have provided an unprecedented wealth of new data to the broader protist ecology, evolution, biogeochemistry, and model system research communities
The meeting will highlight the new knowledge generated from these unique datasets and to foster new collaborations among aquatic microbial ecologists, evolutionary biologists, oceanographers, limnologists, cell and molecular biologists, geneticists, and more.
