Comparative genomics is a new field of increasing power. Within a
decade, we have moved from having a handful of sequenced species to
thousands, and numbers will continue to increase. This presents enormous
opportunities to make discoveries of biological and medical interest,
but also requires new approaches. The bottleneck is shifting from the
time taken to sequence genomes, to the time taken to decide how to
analyse them. However, exciting and novel results are already emerging.
Internationally renowned invited speakers and a poster session will
present cutting-edge developments in this fast-moving and exciting field.
