There will also be opportunities for r junior participants the oto present posters. The expected the number of participants is around 50: the the organizing committee, 6 keynote speakers, 16-20 regular speakers and around 15 graduate students, postdocs and early career researchers.

This conference gathering researchers with various backgrounds working on complementary fields of comparative genomics, will be a perfect opportunity to publish a book on the most recent advances in the field, from the fundamental and empirical point of view.
