We report on the first meeting of SMBE in Africa. SMBE Malawi was initiated to bring together African and international researchers who use genetics or genomics to study natural systems impacted by human activities. The goals of this conference were 1) to reach a world-class standard of science with a large number of contributions from Africa, 2) to initiate exchange between African and international researchers, and 3) to identify challenges and opportunities for evolutionary genomics research in Africa. As repored, we think that we have achieved these goals and make suggestions on the way forward for African evolutionary genomics research.

非洲人类与环境界面的进化基因组学。


我们报道在非洲举行的 SMBE 第一次会议。 SMBE 马拉维旨在汇集非洲和国际研究人员，他们利用遗传学或基因组学来研究受人类活动影响的自然系统。这次会议的目标是：1）通过非洲的大量贡献达到世界一流的科学标准，2）启动非洲和国际研究人员之间的交流，3）确定非洲地区进化基因组学研究的挑战和机遇。非洲。据报道，我们认为我们已经实现了这些目标，并就非洲进化基因组学研究的前进方向提出了建议。
