Master i farmasi Anh Thu Pham ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Chemical, biological and ethnopharmacological studies of two Malian medicinal plants: Terminalia macroptera and Biophytum umbraculum.
This tuesday, we'll discuss genome resequencing and hybrid origin of pig populations, as recently reported by Bosse et al. (2014) in Molecular Ecology, Bosse et al. (2014) in Nature Communications, and Ramírez et al. (2014) in Heredity. We'll focus on the Molecular Ecology paper, but try to provide a brief summary of the other two studies as well.
Mattis B. Wigestrand: Optogenetics - Manipulating animal behavior with light
Friday seminar by Horacio Schneider
This week we read Wagner and Marcot's "Modelling distributions of fossil sampling rates over time, space and taxa: assessment and implications for macroevolutionary studies" in MEE.
Marius L. Meyer, UiO
In recent years there has been extensive interest in the study of strongly correlated states of cold atoms motivated by analogies with exotic states known from low-dimensional electronic systems, particularly quantum Hall states. In this talk I will present an analysis of the yrast states of two-component rotating Bose gases using Jain's composite fermion (CF) approach. A particularly simple subset of CF states are found to give very good approximations to the lowest energy states for low angular momenta.
As we are starting to worry about bias in branch lengths when phylogenetic approaches are used with genomic data, we'll have a look at McGill et al. (2013), which discusses the influence of minor allele frequency thresholds on estimates of demography.
Open seminar at the House of Literature
Friday seminar by Lars Werdelin
Effects of steroid hormones on the expression of Ca2+ activated K+ channels in in vitro pituitary cells of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
Master i farmasi Ida Robertsen ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Pharmacological treatments and monitoring strategies to improve outcome in solid organ transplants.
Come join a discussion on "A novel Bayesian method for inferring and interpreting the dynamics of adaptive landscapes from phylogenetic comparative data" by Uyeda and Harmon fresh from Sys Bio.

Ørnulf Borgan (Department of Mathematics,UiO) gives a seminar
in room 107, 1st floor N.H. Abels House at 14:15 Tuesday September 23rd:
Using cumulative sums of martingale residuals for model checking in nested case-control studies
As a follow-up to our discussion on genomic islands of speciation two weeks ago, we'll continue along the same lines with a recent paper by Ruegg et al. (2014) that came out recently in Molecular Evolution.
