Jeffrey Boore gives an invited talk entitled "The GATOR and PHRINGE System for Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Genes and Genomes" at the semi-annual Boehringer-Ingelheim Fonds Titisee conference on "Genome Evolution and the Origin of Novel Gene Functions" in Titisee-Neustadt, Germany.

Jeffrey Boore gives a presentation at the California Academy of Sciences to an auditorium of high schol biology teachers as part of their annual "BioForum" outreach. The talk was entitled "Genomics: Where Have We Come and Where are We Going?" as part of this year's theme "Genomics: Insights and Impacts".

Both Boore and Fuerstenberg participate in and present at the CIPRES ("Cyberinfrastructure for Phylogenetic Research") meeting in Berkeley, CA.

Genome Project Solutions releases version 3 of the PHRINGE evolutionary analysis of oomycete and diatom genomes. This now adds the complete gene set of another oomycete, Pythium ultimum, bringing the total number of genes analyzed to 109,682. Much of the code and presentation has been rewritten. . . more information
