Series of seminars from international speakers. Common lunches students-speakers will be organized to promote networking discussions and exchanges between the participants and the experts in the field. Recent developments in genomics and its applications to various areas of research will be presented. The use of genomics to understand evolutionary and ecological theories, as well as the analysis of ecosystem functioning and biodiversity, will be illustrated. The importance of global genome analysis in the medical and cellular fields will also be discussed. Finally, presentations on comparative genomics will demonstrate how we can gain a better understanding of general principles.
