Webinar 26 - Randomness In Biological Evolution

MANAV - The Human Atlas Initiative (https://manav.gov.in/​) presents 'Data Science - Webinar Series' Webinar Topic - Randomness In Biological Evolution Day/ Date: Thursday, 13 May 2021 Time : 4 PM to 5 PM Speaker : Prof Kavita Jain, Faculty at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru Abstract : Evolution is responsible for the great diversity in life that we see today on earth. While the role of natural selection in evolution is widely known, it is not well appreciated that evolution is, for most part, a random process. Random events such mutations and reproduction in small populations, and fluctuating environments play a key role in shaping the evolutionary trajectories. In this talk, the speaker will describe some classic experiments that demonstrated randomness in evolution and its consequences, and discuss how one builds stochastic models to understand evolutionary dynamics.
