The paper we will discuss: “Regulatory evolution of innate immunity through co-option of endogenous retroviruses?” by Chuong et al. (2016)

The event is open to anyone interested in attending. Topics include: Scientific talks by EMBO community members, information on funding opportunities for life scientists in Norway, initiatives in scientific publishing and Open Science, and innovative publishing policies. Please register to attend.

Nils Chr. Stenseth from CEES/IBV will give the talk: "Reconstructing the environmental, biological, and societal drivers of plague outbreaks in Eurasia between 1300 and 1900 CE (Synergy-Plague)"

In this talk, the ERC Synergy project on plague (Synergy-Plague) will be presented. Essentially, the interview presentation given before the ERC panel in Brussels on Sept 11, 2023 will be presented https://www.mn.uio.no/ibv/english/research/projects/synergy-plague/.
This will then be followed by a summary of how we got the this funding - the design of the project, the project development and the proposal writing, the preparation for the interview, etc.

At this seminar there will be four 20 minutes lectures by Isabel Barrio, Mathilde Defourneaux, Stefaniya Kamenova and James Speed. Organised by CEES, this seminar is open for all.

PhD candidate Siv Nam Khang Hoff at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 'Elucidating genome-wide divergence and prevalence of chromosomal rearrangements in keystone Arctic teleosts' for the degree of PhD.

The REPEAT group (PIs: Kjetill S. Jakobsen and Melinka A. Butenko) are interested in the functional and evolutionary importance of short tandem repeats in genomes. Short tandem repeats are common, but hypermutable regions. This leads to a high number of short tandem repeat variants in a population. We have combined population genomics and experimental approaches to study the impact of short tandem repeat alleles in Arabidopsis, with emphasis on their role in gene regulation and how they impact protein function. Based on our findings from Arabidopsis, we conducted a study of repeats across 1,270 species, including animal, fungal, plant, and other eukaryotic genomes. In this seminar I will present the results from this (recently submitted) study.
