ESF-EMBO Symposium

Epigenetics in Context: From Ecology to Evolution

18-23 September 2011

Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain


Chaired by: Dr. Vincent Colot, Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris, FR
Co-Chair: Dr. Oliver Bossdorf, University of Bern, CH

Programme

Ecological and Evolutionary Epigenetics is a new field of frontier research at the intersection between molecular genetics and evolutionary ecology. Research in this field is rapidly expanding because of the growing realization that epigenetic processes, notably those involving DNA methylation, might be much more relevant for ecology and evolution than previously acknowledged.
