项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Our conference has three main goals: (1) To address how the recent increase in genomic data availability generates amazing opportunities to explore species evolution and population changes at the genomic level, from comparative genomics of model and non-model species to genomic interactions within communities or host- pathogen co-evolution. (2) To broaden the scope beyond existing genomic resources and address how our community will meet the challenges generated by this incoming deluge of data, including how to encourage research that is ethical, open and accessible. (3) To highlight how the ecological and evolutionary genomics community can support and inform major challenges faced by biodiversity worldwide, especially linked to climate and habitat changes. We expect that this GRC will address key issues relevant to NHGRI, including multidisciplinary discussions of how evolutionary and population genomics in humans and models can benefit medical research, how ecological genomics can help address the challenges of climate change and how to incorporate new advances in machine learning for evolutionary and population genomics. We note that this GRC has historically been an important meeting place for many NHGRI-funded researchers to exchange ideas and present new work that fuels innovation and insights into human health and evolution. The conference will be preceded by a one-day Gordon Research Seminar, which focuses on early career investigators in our community (graduate students and postdocs). This is an opportunity for junior researchers of the field to present their work in a welcoming atmosphere, exchange with their peers, and network with invited senior guests. The seminar addresses the specific needs of the next generation of field leaders, while the main conference gives all participants a place where the community comes together to review the state-of-the-art and develop the future of ecological and evolutionary genomics. We are requesting funds to offset the travel expenses for trainees from underserved and underrepresented communities and key invited speakers.

项目概要我们的会议有三个主要目标：（1）解决最近基因组数据可用性的增加如何创造了在基因组水平上探索物种进化和种群变化的绝佳机会，从模型和非模型物种的比较基因组学与群落或宿主内基因组相互作用病原体共同进化。 (2) 扩大现有基因组资源的范围，并解决我们如何社区将应对海量数据带来的挑战，包括如何鼓励研究符合道德、开放且易于理解。 (3) 强调生态和进化基因组学如何社区可以支持和通报全球生物多样性面临的重大挑战，特别是与气候相关的挑战和栖息地的变化。我们期望该 GRC 将解决与 NHGRI 相关的关键问题，包括关于人类和模型中的进化和群体基因组学如何进行多学科讨论有益于医学研究，生态基因组学如何帮助应对气候变化的挑战以及如何将机器学习的新进展融入进化和群体基因组学。我们注意到，该 GRC 历史上一直是许多 NHGRI 资助的研究人员的重要聚会场所交流想法并提出新的工作，推动创新和对人类健康和进化的见解。会议之前将举行为期一天的戈登研究研讨会，重点关注早期职业我们社区的研究人员（研究生和博士后）。这是初级研究人员的机会该领域的专家在欢迎的气氛中展示他们的工作，与同行交流，并与受邀的人建立联系高级嘉宾。该研讨会解决了下一代领域领导者的具体需求，而主要内容会议为所有参与者提供了一个社区聚集在一起回顾最新技术和成果的场所开发生态和进化基因组学的未来。我们正在申请资金来抵消差旅费来自服务不足和代表性不足社区的学员以及主要受邀演讲者的费用。
