#phylogenomics

PhyloSIB, our annual workshop about molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics took place Wednesday in Lausanne as a satellite event preceding Biology25.

15 SIB Groups gave presentations on recent developments in the field. We had a full house with 80 participants. A lively and fruitful open discussion forum concluded the workshop.
