By Andries Richter, assistant professor at Wageningen University & Research

Seminar will feature two short talks entitled

The repeat structure of two paralogous genes, Yersinia ruckeri Invasin (yrInv) and a “Y. ruckeri Invasin-like molecule”, (yrIlm) sheds light on the evolution of adhesive capacities of a fish pathogen by Agnieszka Wrobel from Dirk Linke group

and

Unicellular origin of the Microprocessor and microRNAs by Arthur Haraldsen from Kamran Shalchian-Tabrizi group

We welcome you to two open lectures! Meave Leakey on "Milestones in the story of us – why and when did we come to be?", and Alan Alda on "Getting beyond a blind date with science". This event is part of the University’s annual celebration.

By Dr. Adam Philippy, National Human Genome Research Institute

For the Evogene seminar Monday 21th August Sundy Maurice and Jørn Henrik Sønstebø will present the project FunGen and a case study of the genetic structure among 11 polypore fungal species. Fungal Conservation Genetics (FunGen) is a collaborative project with NINA, NIBIO and SLU, aiming to reveal the effect of forest fragmentation on the genetic variation of wood-decay fungi throughout Fennoscandia. Jørn Henrik Sønstebø is a population geneticist who has recently joined the mycology Group, will briefly present his background (NMBU, NIBIO, NIVA, NHM, UiO etc. and how FunGen will benefit from his expertise.

Identification of potential adhesin receptors for Yersinia ruckeri: expression and purification of Yersinia ruckeri Invasin

László Nagy from the Fungal genomics & Evolution lab in Szeged, Hungary

László is a young and dynamic group leader with an interesting portfolio. His group focuses on the basic principles of genome evolution with an emphasis on the evolution of complexity and genomic mechanisms of parallel/convergent evolution. They combine phylogenetics with comparative and functional genomics to bring new insight to the field using the multitude of whole-genome.

We welcome you to an inspiring afternoon about Epigenetics and Stem Cells.

The Keynote lecture is by Prof. Frank Grosveld, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, Netherland, a leading expert on transcription and chromatin organisation. We have a fantastic programme spanning from transcription and enhancer regulation, nuclear organisation, histone variants, human X-inactivation with focus on stem cells and differentiation.

The symposium will be held 9th of May 2017 at University of Oslo in Helga Engs Hus, Auditorium 1, Blindern, 12.00-18.00 and is free of charge, but registration is mandatory.

Jan Haug Anonsen, EVOGENE
