Explore the evolution of gene regulation following whole genome duplication in salmonids through this comprehensive seminar. Delve into the fascinating world of salmonid genomics, focusing on the Atlantic salmon as a model for genome evolution after whole genome duplication. Examine gene loss and retention patterns, tissue regulatory divergence, and the challenges of distinguishing between evolutionary scenarios. Learn about the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model as a framework for modeling expression evolution. Investigate expression level shifts, tissue-specific evolution, and ongoing pseudogenization. Discover the role of cis-regulatory elements in duplicate expression evolution through ATAC-seq and TFBS footprinting techniques. Gain insights into how transposable elements contribute to novel adaptive expression phenotypes in salmonids. Conclude with a summary of key findings and their implications for understanding genome evolution in these economically and culturally significant fish species. Read more
