ConGen3

On September 27-29 the American Genetic Association 3^rd biannual International Conservation Genetics Symposium is held at the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

ConGen3 is co-organized by George Amato (AMNH), Gisella Caccone (Yale University), and Rob DeSalle (AMNH). The American Genetic Association and the American Museum of Natural History are sponsoring ConGen3.

Session Topics

• Genetic research for biodiversity surveys, characterization of unique microbial communities, and Barcoding initiatives.
• Conservation Genetics in Time: conservation phylogenetics and tree reconstruction for identification of hidden biodiversity and examination of hybrid zones.
• Conservation Genetics in Space: landscape conservation genetics including explicit spatial modeling.
• Ex Situ Conservation Genetics: intensive metapopulation management in theory and practice.
• Conservation Genetics of Invasive Species: patterns and control.
