Homology: Conceptual and Historical Integration from the Morphological to the Molecular
 
This intensive minicourse and workshop will provide an opportunity for a select group of doctoral students and distinguished investigators in plant evolutionary developmental biology to interact. The goal will be to address conceptual hurdles associated with the analysis of homology. In particular, participants will focus on the integration of molecular, organismic, and phylogenetic data to address long standing questions of homology in plnats. Each participant will outline critical issues associated with his/her evolutionary developmental research program and there will be extensive discussion.
 

Participating Faculty:

Jo Ann Banks, Purdue University
David Baum, University of Wisconsin
James Doyle, University of California, Davis
William Friedman, University of Colorado, Boulder
Larry Hufford, Washington State University
Elizabeth Kellogg, University of Missouri
Amy Litt, New York Botanical Garden
Peter Stevens, Missouri Botanical Garden
Sabine Zachgo, University of Osnabrück
The course will be held at the University of Colorado at Boulder on January 16th, 17th, and 18th, 2009. A select group of Ph.D. students from U.S. institutions or with U.S. citizenship will be chosen to participate. Travel and hotel costs for these students will be covered by MORPH. The application deadline is November 13, 2008.
