Evolution by natural and un-natural selection:
The molecular mechanics of biodiversity
Thursday 26. November at 18:00
Sardinen USF, Georgernes Verft 12
Free bus (from Haukeland Hospital, south end of tunnel 17:20, from High Technology Center 17:30).
Natural selection on genetic variation is widely accepted as the mechanism that
shaped the diversity of life. But how does new variation arise: Is it spontanous
and random, or is it directed and influenced by the environment? Investigations
during the past thirty years have showed that the machinery of DNA replication
and repair do regulate the birth of genetic variations. Thus, environmental
conditions cause mutations when they may increase the rate of adaptation. The
limitations of such new variation will be discussed, and the lectures will also
show how synthetic biology can design and implement artificial genomes, cells,
and ecosystems.
