SmS - CRG Scientific Cafe: What is behind our genome?

What is behind our genome?
Flies and humans have almost the same number of genes but, why are we so different? How nature can bring us such diversity from this shared gene set?
Scientists are hardly studying the genome and we are used to listen about the human resemblance to flies, chimpanzees.... Our invited speakers will give us a general vision about this item and they will help us to undertand what is behind our genome.
Speakers:
- Jaume Bertranpetit. Catedrático de Biología de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra (UPF).
- Juan Valcárcel. Profesor Investigador ICREA , Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG).
Date and time: wednesday 6 may, 7.30pm
