Séminaire Philbio

Nous aurons le plaisir d'accueillir : Henrique Teotonio (IBENS), dont le sujet sera intitulé :  “The role of modeling in experimental evolution”.

Résumé :
Experimental evolution provides a framework for testing models of evolutionary dynamics under controlled genetic and environmental conditions. Evolution can be observed in real time across multiple replicate populations, allowing inferences about natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and recombination, based on the distribution of phenotypic and genotypic responses, and more recently, phenomic and genomic changes. Experimental evolution also serves as a tool for discovery and parameter estimation. In this seminar, I will discuss its advantages and limitations in discovery, parameter estimation, inference, and predicting adaptation to changing environments, using several exemplar studies with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
