SMBE Satellite Meeting on Eukaryotic -Omics
The document provides information about the SMBEeuks conference to be held from April 29 to May 2, 2013 at the UC Davis Conference Center. It discusses logistics including Wi-Fi, lunch/dinner, and instructions for posters and talks. It also thanks sponsors and mentions a prize for travel award recipients. The conference aims to build a eukaryotic research community with an emphasis on speaker diversity and breakout groups. It explores topics like biodiversity, phylogeography, environmental impacts, and extracting environmental DNA. It also describes the PhyloSift software for phylogenetic analysis of metagenomic sequences and its support for various marker genes and taxonomic assignments. The document acknowledges support from UC Davis and the Phy

Editor's Notes
- Regardless of methdology, focus on:Species assemblages and taxonomic diversityCommunity patterns over space and time – Cosmoplitanism or Regionally restricted?Community changes as a result of natural/human disturbance
