EEID Conference and Workshop 2-9 June 2010
June 10th, 2010
Angela, Calum, Emma and Adam attended EEID 2010 Conference (Ecology & Evolution of Infectious Disease), held at Cornell University on 2-5 June. We presented data from our NSF-funded research on the aphid symbiosis in two parts:
an oral presentation by Angela, entitled:
Compelled to cooperate: the traits of a bacterial infection without disease
and a poster presentation by Calum:
How selective gene loss prevents cheating by the bacterial symbionts of aphids
Adam and Eric then participated in a 4-day NSF-funded workshop on modeling and data analysis (Evolution section), where they gained experience of various bioinformatics tools including R, population genetics programs (GeneClass and Structure) and phylogenetics programs (BEAST, MrBayes).
Thomas Bosch (Kiel University) and Angela participated in the conference hike to Treman Park on Saturday
