What is g2p2pop? The catchy abbreviation describes a new effort to model genomes to phenomes to populations in a changing climate.<\/p>\nWhat is g2p2pop? The catchy abbreviation describes a new effort to model genomes to phenomes to populations in a changing climate.<\/p>\n
The project grew out of activities of the NIMBioS Working Group on Modeling Organisms-to-Ecosystems<\/a>, and received a $500,000 Research Coordination Network (RCN)\u00a0award<\/a> from the National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n Nika Galic, who works in environmental safety and ecological modeling at Syngenta Crop Protection, was a participant in the Working Group and is co-PI on the grant.<\/p>\n The goal of the RCN is “to assemble a diverse, interdisciplinary, multi-institutional, multinational network of scientists to tackle the urgent challenge of predicting how populations and species of vertebrates will respond to a changing climate by integrating knowledge across levels of biological organization.”<\/p>\n Through up to ten laboratory exchanges and five planned workshops,\u00a0g2p2pop aims to serve as a platform for building interdisciplinary collaborations. They hope to develop new mechanistic models to extrapolate key processes across levels of organization.<\/p>\n Working Group co-organizer Valery Forbes is co-organizing one of the g2p2pop workshops next summer on “Modeling from Genomes to Phenomes to Populations” at the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n Membership in the\u00a0g2p2pop RCN is open to\u00a0university faculty, students, and postdoctoral scholars, those working in industry, and anyone with an interest in the topic.<\/p>\n PI is Loren Buck, professor of biology at Arizona State University. Along with Galic, the other co-PI is Allyson Hindle, assistant professor of anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital\/Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n You can read more about g2p2pop at\u00a0https:\/\/nau.edu\/cbi-rcn-g2p2pop\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is g2p2pop?
