The symposium will feature sessions on the i5k consortium, vector
biology, social insects, microbiomes, and population and comparative
genomics. Patricia Wittkopp (University of Michigan) will give the
keynote lecture on the evolution of promoters and gene regulation in
/Drosophila/ on Thursday evening. Judy Willis (University of Georgia)

Friday evening.
All are also invited to register for a pre-symposium Epigenomics
Workshop to be held on-site on June 12.
