14 May 2025 - Zoom Session III on Reticulate Evolution

Reticulate evolution in microbial eukaryotes: HGT and its contribution to (endo)symbiosis

We are happy to announce the third session of our seminar series on Reticulate Evolution.
This session will be hosted by Kenneth Dumack (University of Koblenz) on the 14.05.2025,
5 - 7 pm (CET).

We are very pleased to announce Elisabeth Hehenberger (Biology Centre CAS) and Julia Van Etten (Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution) as speakers of this session.

Elisabeth Hehenberger: The extent, role, and timing of (endosymbiotic) gene transfer in plastids 

Julia Van Etten: Horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotes and across microbial communities

All interested Taxon-OMICS and Reticulate Evolution affiliated scientists are welcome to attend.

For questions or the link to the Zoom session, please contact tina.niemann@uni-hamburg.de.

As a reminder, the meeting will take place bimonthly on Wednesdays, 5 - 7 pm (CET) via Zoom. At each of these meeting we will be inviting two speakers with a presentation of 30 min each to talk about various aspects of reticulate evolution.
