The Revolution in Evolution
Professor Cock van Oosterhout
(Professor of Evolutionary Genetics, University of East Anglia)
Evolutionary genomics is going through a new revolution with ever faster sequencing technologies. But what are the new questions we can now answer, and how has this changed our understanding of evolution? And importantly, what does this tell us about our own impact on the environment, and the future of our planet?
