E&E PhD Exit Webinar: The insight of Eucalyptus pauciflora (snow gum) genome

In this talk, I will introduce a suite of new methods and biological insights gained from the assembly and analysis of Eucalyptus genomes. I will start by introducing new methods of assembling and assessing nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes with long- and short-read data.

In this talk, I will introduce a suite of new methods and biological insights gained from the assembly and analysis of Eucalyptus genomes. I will start by introducing new methods of assembling and assessing nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes with long- and short-read data. I will then describe a suite of new biological insights that I have gained from the use of these genomes to tackle key biological questions. These include the accumulation of somatic mutations within individual, the intracellular transfer of DNA between genomes within individuals, and some surprising features of the chloroplast genome not just within eucalypts but across the angiosperm tree of life.

Dietary shifts—particularly the inclusion of animal resources—were pivotal in human evolution, yet direct evidence of meat consumption in early hominins remains limited and debated.
