The “in silico talks” online series aims to provide bioinformaticians, life scientists and clinicians with the latest advances in bioinformatics methods, research or resources led by SIB Scientists, in a wide range of topics.
Would you like to stay abreast of the latest developments, get exclusive insights into recent papers, and discover how these advances might help you in your work or research? Read more and subscribe to the mailing list to receive the next talk.
Are you an evolutionary biologist working with genomics data, or simply passionate about beetles? In particular, if you are a user of the OrthoDB or BUSCO SIB Resources, and would like to see them used in the context of a functional genomics study, this latest in silico talk is for you.
SIB Group Leader Robert Waterhouse at the University of Lausanne takes you on a behind-the-scenes tour of one of his recent papers and explains how he and his colleagues identified genomic signatures that accompanied the dietary shift to plant-feeding in beetles – thought to be a key driver of their diversification – and the associated bioinformatics workflows and resources.
