The workshop Evolutionary Genetics - the impact of next generation sequencing technologies aimed at advanced PhD students, postdocs and established scientists in the field. It included lectures by international speakers and discussion rounds.

One goal of the meeting was to identify the specific challenges that arise in the context of the huge amount of data that can be expected from next generation sequencing projects. A second goal was to identify authors for a special volume of Molecular Ecology with the working title "Next generation molecular ecology", which is planned to cover application of high throughput sequencing techniques for ecological and evolutionary questions.

Speakers: Christian Schlötterer (Vienna), Philip Rosenstiel (Kiel), Michael Hofreiter (Leipzig), Christopher Wheat (Helsinki), Jan Korbel (Heidelberg), Yun Song (Berkeley), Frank Chan (Stanford), Tina Harr (Chicago/Plön), Philip Johnson (Berkeley)
