In the study of Bast et al., we will discuss genomic patterns associated with the lack of recombination in asexual stick insects such as levels of polymorphisms, biased gene conversion and the effectiveness of purifying selection.

Elwira Smakowska from Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, will give the talk entitled "An extracellular network of Arabidopsis leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases control plant development and defenses".

Exploring the Ca2+ and ROS release in the IDA signalling pathway

We will discuss the study of Combs et al. and gain insights into spatial autocorrelation, coancestry and evolutionary clustering analyses as well as invasion in urban landscapes

Reidun Sirevåg from the Section for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, UiO, will give a talk entitled "From hot springs to crystals. Confessions of a female scientist" at the Evogene seminar 22nd of October.

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"

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.

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 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.

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"
