2011. July 16-17, Corvallis OR. Pre-meeting satellite to the 50th Annual Meeting of the Society of Nematologists (July 17-21, 2011).
Theme: “Nematode and Bacteria Symbioses in the Genomics Era”
NemaSym Organizer: David Bird
Local Arrangements/SON Liaison: Russ Ingham
Proposed Workshop: “Proteomes and genomes for the study of eukaryote-prokaryote symbioses”
Other Tentative Activities:
- Review past meeting outcomes (workshop summaries and website expansion to include new information).
- Discuss future meetings themes needs
- Update current knowledge on genomic, proteomics and biotechnology tools and databases and their use in nematode-bacterium symbioses research.
- To identify nematode and bacterium genomes relevant for particular ecological, evolutionary questions.
- To develop linkages between ecological studies and biotechnological advances.

2012. Location: TBA- Satellite meeting to the International Worm Meeting (the biennial C. elegans conference) [or the Society of Nematologists Annual Meeting]
Coordinator/Liaison: TBA
Theme: “Nematode and Bacteria Symbioses and the Genomics Era”
Tentative Activities:
- Review past meeting outcomes (workshop summaries and website expansion to include new information).
- Discuss future meetings themes needs
- Update current knowledge on genomic, proteomics and biotechnology tools and databases and their use in nematode-bacterium symbioses research.
- To identify nematode and bacterium genomes relevant for particular ecological, evolutionary questions.

Proposed Workshop: “Proteomes and genomes for the study of eukaryote-prokaryote symbioses”
Spring, 2013. Tucson, AZ [or alternatively with the American Society For Microbiology]
Local Arrangements/Organizers: Patricia Stock/Mark Blaxter
Theme: “Origin and Evolution of Nematode-Bacteria Associations”
Tentative Activities:
- Review current data on nematode and bacteria phylogenies
- Examine the strengths and weaknesses of tools available to study host-symbiont co-evolution
- Discuss host-range specificity and microbial niche expansion in the context of the evolution of nematode bacteria associations.
- Use comparative analyses to identify common molecular interactions dictating nematode-bacterium symbiosis.
- Examine the mechanisms by which symbiotic organisms acquire the molecular functions necessary for symbiosis.
- Review of the 5 years of the RCN
- Evaluation of benefits from network association
- Discuss on the future of the network.
Proposed Workshop: “Nematode-bacterium symbioses and the Tree of Life: When, where and how microbes and worms decided to team-up”
