The rate of molecular evolution varies at several levels of biological organization, e.g. among sites, among proteins, among chromosomes, and among lineages. The forces underlying this variation include mutation rate and the strength of natural selection, which are in turn affected by e.g. population size, linkage, generation time, gene function, gene expression, pleiotropy, and biophysical properties of gene products (e.g. proteins). While there is a reasonable understanding of these patterns and forces, many questions remain, and a holistic view of molecular evolution is still somewhat underdeveloped. The aim of the workshop is to bring together students and researchers from all career stages to discuss recent findings in the field of molecular evolution, and to foster new research and collaborations. The estimated number of participants is 50.
