Why some are simple, circular molecules while others are fragmented into hundreds of linear chromosomes? This course will try to answer these & other questions about genome evolution. It will explore the diversity in genomic architecture across the eukaryotic tree of life. Through lectures, student presentations, and group discussions, we will examine strange and bizarre genomes – genomes that break all of the rules. We will discuss controversial hypotheses about genome evolution and the scientists who developed them. The course also has a strong “communications” component, with lectures on scientific writing, speaking, and social media – all with a bend on genomics, of course.

  • Evodevo: an Ongoing Revolution?

    Evodevo: an Ongoing Revolution?

    philosophies Article EvoDevo: An Ongoing Revolution? Salvatore Ivan Amato Department of Cognitive Sciences, University of Messina, Via Concezione 8, 98121 Messina, Italy; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 27 September 2020; Accepted: 2 November 2020; Published: 5 November 2020 Abstract: Since its appearance, Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EvoDevo) has been called an emerging research program, a new paradigm, a new interdisciplinary field, or even a revolution. Behind these formulas, there is the awareness that something is changing in biology. EvoDevo is characterized by a variety of accounts and by an expanding theoretical framework. From an epistemological point of view, what is the relationship between EvoDevo and previous biological tradition? Is EvoDevo the carrier of a new message about how to conceive evolution and development? Furthermore, is it necessary to rethink the way we look at both of these processes? EvoDevo represents the attempt to synthesize two logics, that of evolution and that of development, and the way we conceive one affects the other. This synthesis is far from being fulfilled, but an adequate theory of development may represent a further step towards this achievement. In this article, an epistemological analysis of EvoDevo is presented, with particular attention paid to the relations to the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) and the Standard Evolutionary Synthesis (SET). Keywords: evolutionary developmental biology; evolutionary extended synthesis; theory of development 1. Introduction: The House That Charles Built Evolutionary biology, as well as science in general, is characterized by a continuous genealogy of problems, i.e., “a kind of dialectical sequence” of problems that are “linked together in a continuous family tree” [1] (p.

ABSTRACT Molecular population genetics aims to explain genetic variation and molecular evolution from population genetics principles. The field was born 50 years ago with the first measures of genetic variation in allozyme loci, continued with the nucleotide sequencing era, and is currently in the era of population genomics. During this period, molecular population genetics has been revolutionized by progress in data acquisition and theoretical developments. The conceptual elegance of the neutral theory of molecular evolution or the footprint carved by natural selection on the patterns of genetic variation are two examples of the vast number of inspiring findings of population genetics research. Since the inception of the field, Drosophila has been the prominent model species: molecular variation in populations was first described in Drosophila and most of the population genetics hypotheses were tested in Drosophila species. In this review, we describe the main concepts, methods, and landmarks of molecular population genetics, using the Drosophila model as a reference. We describe the different genetic data sets made available by advances in molecular technologies, and the theoretical developments fostered by these data. Finally, we review the results and new insights provided by the population genomics approach, and conclude by enumerating challenges and new lines of inquiry posed by in- creasingly large population scale sequence data.

    THE TROUBLE with TWIN STUDIES: a Reassessment of Twin Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:51 14 August 2016 THE TROUBLE WITH TWIN STUDIES The Trouble with Twin Studies questions popular genetic explanations of human behavioral differences based upon the existing body of twin research. Psychologist Jay Joseph outlines the fallacies of twin studies in the context of the ongoing decades-long failure to discover genes for human behavioral differences, including IQ, personality, and the major psychiatric disorders. This volume critically examines twin research, with a special emphasis on reared-apart twin studies, and incorporates new and updated perspectives, analyses, arguments, and evidence. Jay Joseph, PsyD., is a licensed psychologist practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1998 he has published two books, several book chap- ters, and many articles in peer-reviewed journals, where he has presented a critical appraisal of genetic theories and research in psychiatry and psychology.
