Congratulations to Svante Pääbo, my PhD supervisor, for his #NobelPrize “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution” @MPI_EVA_Leipzig
Hongkai Zhang on locating recombination events using a three-generation pedigree of the great reed warbler @lunduniversity GENECO PhD retreat
The four colours in the dots represent the four nucleotides of DNA while the dots themselves in their various sizes represent the process of mutation and allude to the clonal expansion plots found in papers such as Martincorena et al. 2015 https://t.co/Xd1Af8TX8c
Important questions remained unsolved. Cancer risk is expected to increase with body size. Yet across species there appears to be no correlation between body-size and cancer risk. Could somatic mutation rates have evolved to be lower in larger animals?[4/24]
