Call for presenters/participants for the 67th NIBB Conference “Quest for Orthologs” (the 6th Quest for Orthologs meeting)

We are pleased to announce that the 67th NIBB conference / the 6th Quest for Orthologs (QfO) consortium meeting will be held from July 31 to August 2 in Okazaki, Japan. The theme of this conference will be the basics of comparative genomics from a combination of theoretical and practical approaches. At this conference, we will focus on orthology inference as a basis of comparative and evolutionary genomics in order to stimulate in-depth discussion between theoretical/methodological developers and practical biologists working in this field. The topics will include the methodological and conceptual development of orthology inference and its application to integrative database construction, large-scale evolutionary analysis and practical genomic research including non-model organisms and metagenomics.
 
We are accepting submission for both oral and poster presentations. We will offer travel support for young researchers and graduate students who submit presentations. For more detail, please come to the conference web site.
 
We encourage the many researchers who are interested in this important subject to join us for this meeting.
