Evolutionary Developmental Genomics: at the 2008 meeting of the European Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology.

摘要

The second meeting of the European Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EED) was held in Ghent (Belgium) between the 29th July and 1st August, 2008. Within this large, wide-ranging conference we organised a symposium on Evolutionary Developmental Genomics. Here we provide a brief overview of the symposium and put the three contributions in this issue of Genomics from Sebastian Shimeld, Antony Durston and Ron Parchem, who were speakers in the symposium, into context.
