Description
Recent advances in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics means it is now possible to expand detailed genomic analysis from a few ‘model species’ to a wide diversity of organisms and environments. However, much of this capability is very new and not yet fully exploited by ecologists and evolutionary biologists.
CBA has invited world-class researchers in this exciting and rapidly expanding field to participate in a conference and series of workshops on Biodiversity Genomics with the aim to expose the broad community of biodiversity scientists to these recent advances and their application to diverse organisms.
Invited speakers
- Keynote presentations: 60 min time slot (including question time)
- Other invited presentations: 30 min time slot (including question time)
Please submit your abstract electronically by 15 March 2013. Include title, author’s name, affiliation, address, email and website (if applicable). Abstract text 300 words maximum.

Lightning talks & posters
We welcome non-invited speakers to present a 'lightning talk' accompanied by a poster.
The posters will be on display during the conference talks. Authors will also give a five minute (maximum) presentation, a 'lightning talk', about the research reported on their poster during one of the two lightning talk sessions (April 3 & 4). Lightning talks may be accompanied by up to five PowerPoint slides. Each session of lightning talks will be followed by a poster session where questions / comments may be addressed to the presenter.
Please submit your abstract electronically by 15 March 2013. Include title, author’s name, affiliation, address, email and website (if applicable). Abstract text 300 words maximum.
