2011 International Social Insect Genomics Research Conference

On behalf of the committee of SIGC (International Social Insect Genomics Research Conference), it is our great honor to invite you to attend the “International Social Insect Genomics Research Conference” organized by the BGI, to be held from June 29-July 2, 2011 in Shenzhen, China.

Social insects (ants, bees, wasps and termites) are among the most diverse and ecologically important organisms on earth. They are particularly well suited for research based on de novo sequenced genomes because they can be studied at multiple levels of biological organization, from gene to ecosystem services, and because so much is already known about their natural history, behavior, ecology and evolution.
