La Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educación (UMCE) invita a seguir la transmisión en vivo de las clases sobre Epigenética que dictará el Dr. Carlos Guerrero-Bosagna (Washington State University), los días 5 y 12 de diciembre. Estas charlas serán presentadas en el marco de la asignatura “El Epigenoma: últimos avances en genética, herencia y evolución”.
Programa de la Segunda Jornada:
Environmental Epigenetics, Developmental Processes and the Origin of Evolutionary Novelty
1. Benefit-based Evolution vs Structure Based Evolution
2. Concepts in Benefit-based evolution:
i. Adaptation
ii. Optimization
iii. Heritability
iv. Fitness
3. Natural Selection as a non-adaptive restrictive process in evolution
4. Ultimate vs Proximate Cause and the ‘what for?’ vs the ‘how’ question in evolution
5. Goldschmidt’s ‘hopeful monster’: processes influencing the origin of evolutionary novelty
6. Genetic mutations: fallacy of the randomness
7. Epigenetics and genomic rearrangements
8. Is Epigenetics really Neo-Lamarckism?
9. Environmental Epigenetic as a mechanism for Non-Adaptive Induced Variation in Evolution (NAIVE)
10. The future of Evolutionary Biology: consideration and integration of ‘restrictive’ AND ‘inductive’ environmental actions on organisms
Fecha: Miércoles 12 de diciembre, de 17:30 a 19:30 horas.
Lugar: Transmisión desde la UMCE
