. . . Friday, September 13.  Zach Hancock will lead a discussion on the origins of genome complexity. The paper argues that the transition in genome complexity from prokaryotes to eukaryotes emerged passively by nonadaptive processes. Should make for a fun discussion. We will meet on Friday at 4 PM at O’Bannon’s.  [Lynch & Conery]

Also, here is a link to a Google sign-up sheet for the rest of the semester. There are a limited number of spots, so first-come-first-serve.
