The International Scientific Conference «Genetics of Population: Progress and Perspectives» will be held on the premises of the S. N. Skadovsky Zvenigorod Biological Station MSU on April 17–21, 2017 (http://zbs.bio.msu.ru). The Conference is commemorating the 80th birthday of an outstanding population geneticist, Academician Yury P. Altukhov (1936–2006), Director of Vavilov Institute of General Genetics RAS (1992–2006). The Conference is also dedicated to the 45th Anniversary of the Laboratory of Population Genetics founded by Yu. P. Altukhov and named after him.
The main objective of the conference is to present Yu. P. Altukhov's scientific heritage and achievements of his scientific school, to discuss the modern state and perspectives of population and general genetics in Russia and in the world, and the role of new methods for the estimation and monitoring of genetic diversity and for revealing factors that define genetic processes in plant, animal and human populations.
