Dear colleagues,

There will be an "Avian Genomics" workshop at the international PAG 
conference in January in San Diego http://www.intlpag.org/. I will host 
it for the 5th time: "Avian Genomics - Gone Wild!". PAG 2020 will be 
from Jan 11th to Jan 15th.

"PAG brings together over 3,000 leading genetic scientists and 
researchers in plant and animal research, and over 130 exhibits, 150 
workshops, 1100   posters and over 1800 abstracts."

To get an overview of the last "Avian Genomics - Gone Wild!" session of 
2019 here is the link:

https://pag.confex.com/pag/xxvii/meetingapp.cgi/Session/5452

1st and 2nd editions were in:

2016 - https://pag.confex.com/pag/xxiv/meetingapp.cgi/Session/3531
2017 - https://pag.confex.com/pag/xxv/meetingapp.cgi/Session/4169
2018 - https://pag.confex.com/pag/xxvi/meetingapp.cgi/Session/4741

If your work falls within the area of avian genomics, especially of 
birds in the wild, please send your abstract (200-300 words, no special 
format) to me by October 1st. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Best wishes,
Robert
