Abstract |
The Mobile Genetic Elements and Genome Evolution conference was hosted by Keystone Symposia in Santa Fe, NM USA, 9 March through 14 March 2014. The goal of this conference was to bring together scientists from around the world who study transposable elements in diverse organisms and researchers who study the impact these elements have on genome evolution. The meeting included over 200 scientists who participated through poster presentations, short talks selected from abstracts, and invited speakers. The talks were organized into eight sessions and two workshops. The topics varied from diverse mechanisms of mobilization to the evolution of genomes and their defense strategies against transposable elements. |
