Conference on Salmonid Biology, Oslo, June 2012

[Jeevan Karloss]

Dear colleagues,

 

Welcome to the

1st International Conference on Integrative Salmonid Biology

Oslo, June 17 – 20, 2012

 

 

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 1st International Conference on Integrative Salmonid Biology (ICISB, www.icisb.org), to be held in Oslo, Norway, on June 17th – 20th, 2012. ICISB 2012 is organized by the Executive Scientific Committee of the International Cooperation to Sequence the Atlantic Salmon Genome (ICSASG).

ICISB is intended to provide a forum to discuss recent developments and future plans for salmonid biology and genomics. It is likely that genomic information generated by the salmon and rainbow trout sequencing efforts will have a significant impact on how we approach research on wild and domesticated salmonids across a broad range of themes. With both sequencing efforts approaching completion it is timely that the salmonid community comes together to explore as broadly as possible the opportunities that will emerge from the availability of the sequences, and to highlight scientific challenges that will require concerted international efforts in the years to come. 

Main topics:

·Salmonid genomics and bioinformatics

·Molecular ecology and evolution of salmonids

·Sex determination and sex-specific recombination in salmonids

·Salmonid immune system, pathogens and vaccine development

·Environmental and conservation biology of wild salmonids  

·Physiology and nutrition

·Breeding, QTL detection and genomic selection

·Life history biology of salmonids

Registration and call for abstracts:

Registration is now open at http://www.icisb.org/.

·Deadline for abstract submission: 29 February

·Deadline for early registration: 31 March

 

We look forward to seeing you in Oslo in June!
