By 2050 the world's population will reach 9.1 billion, and food demand is expected to increase by 70% (FAO, 2009).
Research Scientist in the Biological, Environmental Sciences & Engineering Division at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia.
The Solanum section Lycopersicon is an economically important clade that consists of 14 species including the cultivated tomato Solanum lycopersicum, which is one of the most economically important horticultural crops. Here, we sequenced the genomes of three wild tomato species: S. pimpinellifolium, S. galapagense and S. cheesmaniae.

Vertebrate ancestors appeared in a uniform, shallow water environment, but modern species flourish in highly variable niches.
Shozo Yokoyama moved to Emory’s Department of Biology in 2003 as an endowed chair, Asa G. Candler Professor of Biology
Recent years have brought a changing imperative in life sciences sparked by the revolution of genomic tools to study the molecular composition and functional organization of organisms.
Associate Director of the Red Sea Research Center at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia
Evolutionary genomics has been used to better understand the evolution of species and to help the development of sustainable practices of exploration of our environments.
Professor of Bioinformatics at the Bioinformatics Multidisciplinary Environment (BioME) at UFRN in Natal
The climate, environment and industrial infrastructure of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) make it an ideal location for marine photosynthetic microbial cell factory (PMCF) technologies.

Growth phenotype profiling of genome-wide gene-deletion strains over stress conditions can offer a clear picture that the essentiality of genes depends on environmental conditions.
Optimization problems from different fields are generally difficult to solve due to the large solution space
Postdoctoral research fellow at AIST, Japan
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) were invented based on the evolutionary ideas of natural selection and genetics, specially following the principles first laid down by Charles Darwin of "survival of the fittest".
Associate Professor of Computer Science at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems provide efficient low level database support for a variety of data analysis, machine learning and knowledge extraction tasks that involve very large datasets.

Natural selection is the axiom of evolutionary biology. Humans, however, can manipulate natural selection in ways that sometimes contradict it.
Professor of Human Genetics at Alfaisal University and Senior Consultant and Principal Clinical Scientist at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center
It is well known that cancer populations evolve rapidly and can undergo a wide diversification. Being able to track the evolution of a cancer cell population through informative markers has enormous potential in cancer medicine.
Bioinformatician at the Computational Bioscience Research Center, King Abdulaah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia
Bacterial infection is still a serious threat to humans. Because of the great diversity of disease-causing bacteria, there is a limitation in the ability of current bacterial identification tests using bacterial culture or antibodies.
