Episode 306 – GRASP IPA og Teleologiens Perverterende Indflydelse På Biologien

Mikkel er tilbage! Og det betyder, at vi endelig kan komme frem til de lytterhenvendelser, der ligger og venter fra Henning og Jimmy Caspersen. Det bliver en herlig snak om evolutionens idehistoriske fjende – teleologien – empatien og Mikkel der har skarpe ord til Mathias om hans seneste Soloævl. Dertil drikker vi en vidensplatform fra Musicon, nemlig IPA’en GRASP.

Recommendations for textbooks on #genomics and #evolution?

I have been using Molecular and Genome Evolution (Graur) or the Origins of Genome Architecture (Lynch). Both very good, but I'm curious what others use.

Let's meet another 2024 #JSE Outstanding Papers Awards winner!

Join Gallaher et al. on a trip through space and time to explore the #biogeographical and #macroevolutionary history of the Poaceae.

It's not every day that I get to add a new phylum to the map of life. Today, I'm adding one of the most fascinating organisms to the map. A slime mould that can map road networks and even control robots.

My current research project is an evolutionary computation experiment inspired by biology (specifically, this amazing experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plVk4NVIUh8&pp=ygUOYmF5bSBtZWdhcGxhdGU%3D)

Unfortunately, evolutionary computation is a field generally quite ignorant of the biology that inspired it. A lot of work they do, while exciting to computer scientists, makes no sense to biologists.

So, I brought my WIP to a biology professor I've been working with to ask for feedback. He gave me the highest praise I could ask for:
This is all completely boring and obvious from a biology perspective.

I'm quite relieved! Now my challenge is: how to get CS people to care about these findings ported over from biology.

#IntelligentDesign bezweifelt das Wirken der #Evolution – unter anderem weil man nie beobachtet hat, wie ein #Gen aus einzelnen #Nukleinsäure-Bausteinen entstand.

️ Ah, the endless #debate of Scala's evolution: should it sprint, crawl, or just stand still and sip lattes? Spoiler alert: the article is basically a laundry list of "maybe, could be, possibly" without actually saying anything at all!

Yes, Virginia. Evolution is still happening. Here is one way that we know.

Having noticed someone inquiring about classical Chinese bronze inscription characters on Facebook, I therefore recorded a video to illustrate them.

"Although no single threshold delineates species, eukaryotic populations with >1% genome-wide sequence divergence are likely separate species, whereas prokaryotic populations with 1% divergence are still able to recombine and thus can be considered the same species."
