FINAL
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME
ABSTRACTS
Foreword:
In
the last years, substantial theoretical and experimental progress has
been
done regarding the different forces shaping the patterns of variability
in the human genome. In particular, distinguishing the effects of
demography
and natural selection remains one of the hottest issues among human
populations
geneticists, demographers and statistical geneticists. In this frame,
we
will focus the symposium on i) the role of selection
processes and on ii)
the detection of the geographic
patterns
of genetic variation.
There
is an urgent need of a public debate on such areas of investigation;
their
methodological aspects should be discussed in a wide frame that only a
symposium can offer. Even though the scientific interests of many
speakers
are directed towards the understanding of human diversity and the
different
forces shaping it, this symposium is also addressed to all scholars
interested
in the methodological aspects concerning genetic diversity and
consequently,
it may be of great interest for Animal
and Plant Population Geneticists, Ecologists, Demographers, GIS,
etc.
To
address an international audience, the official language of this event
will be English. |
