Immune Cell Composition in Human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

In this weeks edition of the TGAC journal club, we'll focus on African cichlid fishes, and the "genomic substrate" of their adaptive radiation: The paper by Brawand et al. (2014), was published last week in Nature.

This week in the macroevolution journal club we will read a paper: "Calibrating the Tree of Life: fossils, molecules and evolutionary timescales", Forest, 2009.

”Testing Species Boundaries in the Staphylinid Beetle Genus Mocyta (Insecta, Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)”

Studies of ATF7IP as a novel interaction partner of c-Myb - epigenetic repressor or co-activator?

MBD proteins - possible links between DNA methylation and histone modification in Arabidopsis thaliana

The role of LBD proteins in floral organ abscission

We restart the TGAC+CELS journal club series with a discussion of a recent review (Cruickshank & Hahn 2014) on genome divergence between closely related species. A substantial paper, but a highly relevant one, also for our friends from the speciation journal club!

This week we discuss a new book chapter by Nunn and Zhu on using "Phylogenetic Prediction to Identify 'Evolutionary Singularities'"  with our visitor Matt Pennell.

Late lunch talk by Matt Pennell.

Mini-seminar in connection with the conferment of an honorary doctoral degree awarded to Prof. Eske Willerslev by the University of Oslo. Sign up!

The author, philosopher and biologist Massimo Pigliucci will give a lecture on: "The relationship between science and philosophy". Hopi Hoekstra from Harvard University will tell us about: "Digging for genes that affect behavior". The Kristine Bonnevie lectures on evolutionary biology is part of the University’s annual celebration.

Open lecture by philosopher Massimo Pigliucci

"Immunfunksjon og biotransformasjon hos piggvar (Scophthalmus maximus) eksponert for den vannløselige fraksjonen av Ekofisk råolje"

We restart journal club this week with Bookstein's 2012 Paleobiology paper on Random walk as a null model for high-dimensional morphometrics of fossil series: geometrical considerations.
