We will discuss tests for positive selection and evolutionary processes involved in host specificity in insect pathogens in the recent study of Kobmoo et al.

This years iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) team from UiO will present their project entitled "Canditect - Fast detection of vulvovaginal Candida albicans using CRISPR/dCas9"

Throughout history many different modeling approaches has been developed to understand biological systems. What can we learn from these models?

Are perineuronal nets in the medial prefrontal cortex critical in the prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex in mice?

How can organisms maintain stable internal conditions in a changing environment or during growth? The concept of homeostasis has been important for understanding physiological regulation, development of disease and more recently for bioengineering and synthetic biology.

MSc Cassandra Trier at the Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis The Genomics of Hybrid Speciation for the degree of PhD.

MSc Cassandra Trier at the Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: How genomic data changed our understanding of speciation

The centre welcomes Professor Natasa Pruzlj of Biomedical Data Science at UCL to give her Volterra lecture on Friday 28 September at NTNU. She will discuss linking heterogeneous data in the biomedical domain.

By Brian O’Neill from the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver, USA

By Scott A. Taylor from University of Colorado Boulder

We will discuss a new Genome-Wide Association Study approach implemented by Caitlins & Didelot (TreeWAS). The method search for statistically significant associations between a phenotype and the genotype at all loci in a genetic dataset. treeWAS has the advantage to control for the confounding effects of clonal population structure and population stratification.

”Do environmental contaminants with barrier disruptor capacities promote food allergy development?   Detecting early markers of an altered gut barrier function”

Pierre Gladieux is a research scientist at UMR BGPI, INRA Montpellier, France and he will give a talk entitled "Disease emergence and pathogen speciation".

We are very excited that the biannual meeting for the International Study Group for Systems Biology (ISGSB) will be in Norway, Tromsø, this year! Centre for Digital Life Norway is involved in the event, which brings together systems biologists and mathematical modellers from around the world.

By Steve Chenoweth from the University of Queensland, St Lucia, Australia, and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies, Uppsala, Sweden

All who want to join the application process for funding of interdisciplinary research groups – convergence environments – have to join at least one  workshop in September. The registration deadline is 22 August.

MSc Daniel Hitchcock at Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis Life history and pollutant accumulation in wildlife for the degree of PhD.

Doctoral candidate MSc Daniel Hitchcock at Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Chemical read-across in a species perspective - How life history traits and other species-specific factors may inform read-across between chemicals in toxicological assessments

This international symposium will focus on selected current concepts, challenges and methodologies in Infection Biology and Biomedicine.

We will discuss a study by Krohn et al. using a reduced representation genomic approach (RAD sequencing) to study the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships of an endangered vole and other closely related desert-dwelling voles.

Late Lunch Talk by Tom Oosting from Victoria University of Wellington

Eric Gelhaye will give a short talk entitled "From fungal detoxification systems to tree ecological traits" and Mélanie Morel-Rouhier will give a short talk entitled "Oak extractive-induced stress reveals the involvement of new enzymes in the detoxification response of Phanerochaete chrysosporium"

”Molecular phylogeny and frontal shield evolution of Cheilostome bryozoans. (Un)linking frontal shield evolution to phylogenetic relationships within Adeonidae”
