[1MS-13]【E】Genome Alignments: Are We Ready to Unravel Evolution Acrossthe Tree of Life?

Wed. Dec 3, 2025 11:15 AM - 12:35 PM JST
Wed. Dec 3, 2025 2:15 AM - 3:35 AM UTC
Room 13(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 4F, 418)
Organizer: Charles Plessy (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST)), Martin Frith (The University of Tokyo)
Chromosome-scale and complete genome assemblies are becoming available for organisms across the whole Tree of Life. Genome alignments empower studies that cover evolutionary scales from thousands to billions of years. This symposium will present the latest biological insights obtained from genome alignments as well as new methods, software, pipelines.
11:15 AM - 11:18 AM JST(2:15 AM - 2:18 AM UTC)
