SETE - Moulis

From 8 to 10 March 2017, SETE will host a workshop on evolution and non-genetic inheritance (inheritance based on other factors than DNA sequence variation). The workshop will consist of lectures and discussion sessions and is organizedin the context of the ANR MEMOSTRESS project of Vincent Colot (IBENS Paris), Olivier Loudet (INRA Versailles) and Tom Van Dooren (iEES Paris).

Thursday March 9

  • 9h-10h Jason Wolf (University of Bath) "How relatedness transforms ‘non-heritable’ social environments into components of quantitative genetic variation"
  • 14h-15h Vincent Colot (IBENS Paris) "Transgenerational epigenetics: lessons from plants"
  • 16h30-17h Koen Verhoeven (NIOO Wageningen) "What is the evidence for multi-generation inheritance of environment-induced epigenetic effects? An update from apomictic dandelion research"

Friday March 10

  • 9h-10h Bram Kuijper (University of Exeter) "The evolution of parental effects in the face of conflict and competition"
  • 10h30 - 11h30 Etienne Danchin (TULIP Toulouse) "Heredity and evolution"
