Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics Conference (PEQG)

The Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics Conference (PEQG) is a multidisciplinary meeting that promotes scholarly exchange among scientists conducting theoretical and empirical research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and quantitative genetics. Hosted at the historic Asilomar Conference Grounds, this conference offers a rich program of invited talks, plenary sessions, and abstract‑driven presentations that showcase cutting‑edge advancements in understanding genetic variation, evolutionary processes, and the statistical foundations that underlie complex traits. Attendees include researchers from diverse fields such as genomics, ecology, breeding and agriculture, computational biology, and evolutionary theory, all of whom contribute to a broader understanding of how genetic and evolutionary forces shape biological diversity and adaptation. Professional development activities and awards, such as the James F. Crow Early Career Researcher Award, support emerging scientists and encourage cross‑disciplinary interaction. By fostering collaboration and the integration of methods and perspectives, PEQG plays a key role in pushing the boundaries of genetic research and in linking quantitative and evolutionary approaches to address fundamental biological questions.
