These lectures will introduce the concept of the 'architecture' of the genome--what the major components of the genome are and how they are related to the information contained in the genome. I will use concrete examples that demonstrate two opposing forces in evolution--a tendency to remain unchanged side-by-side with startling examples of major changes in genome architecture.

I am a geneticist, having received my PhD at the University of Colorado, and post-doctoral experience in the Biochemistry Department of Dalhousie Medical School. I have recently retired from the Biology Department at Acadia, where I taught genetics for 24 years. My major research interest is in understanding the role of instability induced by repeated sequences in the evolution of genome structure. I have worked in viral, bacterial and multicellular organisms in examining this phenomenon. |
