For how long do species retain the ability to form hybrids?

All the biodiversity on our planet has originated through a series of speciation events. Speciation occurs when two lineages cease interbreeding, for one reason or another, but even after speciation the new species commonly retain the ability to hybridise for a while. Soon after speciation, the species genomes […]

Door 2: Artificial intelligence and taxonomy

The recnt years have seen a hand over fist development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, and such applications affect the daily life of scientists at an increasing pace, and the ongoing development may in the near future also modify our understanding of science in general. For biologist an […]

Door 1: Quo vadis biodiversity genomic research?

It is the time of the year, where our group opens a door at our advents calendar again. It is my turn to open the first door. Our group is involved in many research projects involving genomic data as you can see when looking at our previous posts. […]

Dør 1: Quo vadis genomisk forskning på biologisk mangfold?

Det er den tiden på året hvor gruppen vår åpner en dør i adventskalenderen vår igjen. Det er min tur til å åpne den første døren. Gruppen vår er involvert i mange forskningsprosjekter som involverer genomdata, som du kan se når du ser på de tidligere innleggene våre. […]
