Phylogenomics Symposium
Date: Thursday, June 16
Location: Austin Convention Center, Meeting Room 7 (Level 3)
Attendance at the talks requires registration, but on site registration
is allowed. The breakfast and coffee breaks require pre-registration by
May 30, and so the deadline for those has passed.
Please wear your badge at the symposium.
