The consequences of invasion

Heredity Podcast ·

2025/10/29

We often hear that invasive speciesare bad for the ecosystems they invade, but the consequences can seem remote and hard to grasp. In this episodewe hear from Nitin Ravikanthachari and Carol Boggs about their study system where an invasive plant has very tangible effects for a native butterfly. Hosted on Acast.

The violet carpenter bee & the European Reference...

Heredity Podcast ·

2024/10/30

DNA sequence data promises to enable the study of biodiversity and its response to threats. However, much of this potential depends upon the availability of reference genomes. We hear about the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) from its Chairperson, Rob Waterhouse (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics). We also hear from ERGA member Will Nash (Earlham Institute) about his quest to understand the genome of the beautiful Violet carpenter bee. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

Mosquito population structure and gene-drives

Heredity Podcast ·

2024/05/29

Gene-drives hold great potential for the control of biological pests, but first they need to be thoroughly tested under appropriate conditions. In this episodewe discuss some new work assessing whether mosquito populations in Northern Australia could be used to test a gene-drive targetingmalaria mosquitoes. Hosted on Acast.

Alternative splicing and thermal adaptation in mice

Heredity Podcast ·

2024/04/24

Genes are recipes for proteins and proteins do stuff. But if a gene can make more than one protein, how does that affect genetic variation and the possible routes to adaptation? We get an introduction to the topic of adaptive alternative splicing from David Manahan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
