DESCRIPTION:*Genomes as documents of evolutionary history*\n\nOur genome a
 nd the genomes of other vertebrates have been shaped by ancient evolutiona
 ry events that have had a lasting impact on their structure\, organisation
  and function. Recognising and interpreting these events can be harnessed 
 to better understand and diagnose human genetic diseases and also can expl
 ain some unusual genome structures in vertebrates. Despite this importance
  some key questions regarding the number and timing of these early events 
 in vertebrate evolution remain unresolved or disputed. I will talk about h
 ow we have learned how to read our genomes as historical documents to reco
 nstruct the ancient genomes and deduce the early events that established t
 he vertebrates in all their beautiful diversity.\n\n"Add to calendar":http
