Scope: The QfO Consortium addresses a key challenge in molecular
evolutionary biology and strives to develop large-scale methods
for inferring orthology among fully sequenced genomes, and to
reconstruct the complement of protein-coding genes in common
ancestral genomes across the tree of life. The QFO meetings aim
to bring together disparate groups around the world that work in
the field to accelerate progress through sharing of ideas,
methods and research findings. The particular aim of this QfO8
meeting is to gather an even more diverse set of end-users and
to connect different research communities that are rooted in
orthology.</div>
