Botanik Seminar: Linking genotypes and phenotypes in the light of convergent evolution
30.11.2022: Dr. Kenji Fukushima. University of Wuerzburg, Germany.
Start: 16.15 Uhr | 4.15 p.m.
While some evolutionary innovations may be unique, convergent evolution produced many innovative traits, such as plant carnivory. To detect genotype-phenotype associations underlying convergent evolution, we developed a novel framework to measure the rate of genetic convergence. In this talk, I will show how our approach allows bidirectional searches for genotype-phenotype associations, even in lineages that diverged for hundreds of millions of years.
