Workshop Listing

The goals of this workshop are to report on resources available for evolutionary projects in rhabditid nematodes and to provide a forum to discuss community issues and the development of community resources.

• Genomes
   reports
     Status of genome sequences/assemblies
     C. briggsae sequence/recombination map integration
     WormBase presentation of non-elegans data
   discussion
     need for recombination maps of C. remanei, C. japonica and C. sp. 4?
     recommendations for continued sequencing
        partial sequences, same species, other strains for SNP identification
        sequence other species of Caeonorhaditis
        sequence species from other genera
           Pristionchus
           Oscheius
  
  
• Populations
   reports
     species distributions
     population structures
   discussion
     coordinated collection efforts
     geographic collections
        undersampled areas

• Technique/Resource development
   reports
