    The theme of the 2010 Summer School is the phenomenon of strong (or extreme) sequence conservation, which will be explored from a quantitative and multidisciplinary perspective, and connections forged with parts of biology outside of genomics.

    Broad Topic Categories:
    • Ultra-conservation: Theory & Experiment
    • Ultra-conserved Elements (UCEs) within Populations
    • Comparative, Evolutionary and Population Genomics
    • Recombination and Genome Rearrangement
    • Neutral and Adaptive Evolution: Proteins, RNA, Regulatory Sequences, Genomes
    • Experimental Evolution
    The format of the summer school consists of a three-hour presentation in the morning, with coffee breaks, followed by an hour or two of discussion in the afternoon. The summer school is aimed primarily at introducing approximately forty students and post-docs with quantitative backgrounds - not necessarily in biology - to the splitting edge of contemporary comparative and evolutionary genomics research. As such, tutorials will be offered to get participants with less-developed quantitative skills or sparse biological background up to speed insofar as possible; however, we hope that presentations will be intense and self-contained.

    OIST provides summer school students with accommodation at Seaside House and financial support for their travel. Students will be selected competitively based upon their completed applications, submitted by February 15, 2010 to qecg2010#oist.jp (replacing the "#" by "[at]" of course).
