orphan date May 2010 The International Congress of HumanGenetics is the foremost meeting of the international humangenetics community. The first Congress was held in 1956 in Copenhagen , and has met every five years since then. The Congress is held under the auspices of the International Federation of HumanGenetics Societies, http mail.medacad.org www.ichg2001.org an umbrella organization founded by the American Society of HumanGenetics, the European Society of HumanGenetics and HumanGenetics Society of Australasia. Congresses have been held in such diverse venues as Berlin , Brisbane , Chicago , The Hague , Jerusalem , Mexico City , Paris , Rio de Janeiro , Vienna and Washington, D.C. Washington . The purview of the International Congress of HumanGenetics is all aspects of humangenetics, including research, clinical practice, and education. The Congress now attracts thousands of participants, including Doctor of Medicine M.D. medical geneticists, Ph.D. human geneticists and genetic counselor s from 80 or more countries. It is by far the largest humangenetics meeting in the world.

dablink For the book by E. B. Ford see Ecological Genetics book Template Evolutionary biology Ecological genetics is the study of genetics in the context of the interactions among organisms and between the organisms and their environment. While molecular genetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics and the related field of population genetics studies phenotypic evolution in natural populations of organisms. Research in this field is of traits of ecological significance that is, traits related to Fitness biology fitness , which affect an organism s survival and reproduction e.g., flowering time, drought tolerance, sex ratio . Studies are often done on insects and other organisms that have short generation times, and thus evolution evolve at high rates. History Although work on natural populations had been done previously, it is acknowledged that the field was founded by the United Kingdom English biologist Edmund Brisco Ford E.B. Ford 1901 1988 in the early 20th century. Ford was taught genetics at Oxford University by Julian Huxley , and started research on the genetics of natural populations in 1924.
