title: Integration of structural and functional genomics.
abstract: This paper introduces a special issue of Animal Genetics, which is devoted to the recent symposium held at Iowa State University entitled 'Integration of Structural and Functional Genomics'. We describe issues and needs that confront the animal genomics community, and describe how this symposium was structured to address these issues by improving communication and collaboration across species and disciplines. The session topics and oral presentations are briefly described for all invited speakers.
