Journal Club Sept 15, 2020

After a certainly unique summer featuring many adjustments but also many great online conferences, classes are back in session at UR. To bring back something familiar, here are the papers that will be discussed during this week’s Journal Club on Tuesday the 15th at 11:05 (see department emails for access to the zoom link).

The focus is on the Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller Model and will include a classic 1936 paper by Theodosius Dobzhansky, “Studies of hybrid sterility. II. Localization of sterility factors in Drosophila pseudoobscura hybrids” and a 1995 by our own Allen Orr, “The population genetics of speciation: the evolution of hybrid
incompatibilities”.
