Description

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. Les développements récents dans le secteur de la génomique et ses applications à différents secteurs de la recherche seront présentés. L'utilisation de la génomique pour la compréhension des théories évolutives et écologiques, ainsi que l'analyse du fonctionnement et de la biodiversité des écosystèmes sera illustrée. L'importance de l'analyse globale du génome dans le domaine médical et cellulaire sera également traitée. Finalement, des exposés de génomique comparative permettront de montrer comment on arrive à mieux comprendre des principes généraux.
