Michael Donoghue, giving a plenary talk at #SABiennial
February 25, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Donoghue: Viburnum plants originated in tropics, dispersed in temperate zones, #SABiennial
February 25, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Donoghue: Viburnum dispersed 4 times to Europe and 5 or 6 times to North America from Eastern Asia, SABiennial
February 25, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Donoghue: several groups originated in tropics, invaded temperate areas, now depauperons in tropics and diverse in temp areas, #SABiennial

Peter Holland: From genomes to diversity: the prospects and problems of evo-devo in reverse, keynote lecture at #SABiennial
February 25, 2025 at 10:10 AM
Holland: how does evolution generate "new genes"? One way is reverse transcription, ~ 200 in human genome, # SABiennial
February 25, 2025 at 10:10 AM
Holland: after genome duplication only 10-25% duplicated genes are retained. What "kind" of genes are these? Often regulatory, # SABiennial
