Abstract:
Genomes are shaped by events that happened tens or hundreds of millions of years ago,and comparative analysis can provide a window into these historical events, and the associated evolutionary processes, that complement the fossil record. The seminar will present recent results from comparative analysis of vertebrate genomes aimed at deciphering ancient polyploidizations (genome doublings).
