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>
