This Friday, the Biology Journal Club will discuss the roles of Supergenes in the context of conservation genomics.  Welcome at 10:15 in TM113, no registration needed.
The session is led by Stefan Prost from the Biodiversity Genomics research group.
There are 3 main readings, but two of them are short 1-page case examples. If you like the topic, you may also read the 2 extended readings as a bonus.
Readings are available in the moodle page section (self-enrolment key: journal ) and enclosed here for convenience:
Paper 1 - A supergene underlies linked variation in color and morphology in a Holarctic songbird.pdf
Paper 2 - Avian supergenes.pdf
Paper 3 - How carrion and hooded crows defeat Linnaeus curse.pdf
Bonus:
