News Item Introducing evolutionary systems biology by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 04:04 PM
A new framework was developed for combining modern systems biology and evolutionary genetics. Evolutionary systems biology may help us to answer some of the most difficult problems in evolutionary biology.
Event Symposium on Evolutionary Systems Biology by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 03:37 PM
The 2009 congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biologists (ESEB) will host a symposium on evolutionary systems biology. Look forward to an exciting series of talks that explore how systems biology might contribute to answer some of the most difficult problems in evolutionary biology.

Image Distribution of deleterious mutational effects (DDME) by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 01:48 PM
Three different possible types of DDMEs as computed from DNA diversity data in the fruitflies Drosophila miranda and D. pseudoobscura. The lognormal distribution is the only one that can explain the observed numbers of lethal mutations (right axis). The normal DDME could not even explain the observed diversity data (best possible fit shown). The vertical grey line marks the border to effective neutrality (Nes = 0.5 with Ne = 837000). For more details, see Loewe & Charlesworth (2006, http://www.journals.royalsoc.ac.uk/openurl.asp?genre=article&issn=1744-9561&volume=2&issue=3&spage=426).
Image Evolutionary theory unifies Biology by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 01:47 PM
Evolution as a theory is general enough to ultimately include every field in biology (see http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/3/27).
Image Organization of the human genome by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 01:43 PM
This overview shows all chromosomes of the human genome as seen in the Ensembl Genome browser. Genome browsers allow zooming in until the actual sequence of individual genes can be seen (see http://www.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/).
Image The structure of DNA is a double helix by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 01:42 PM
DNA is like the paper for a text written with the 4 letters A, T, C and G. The structure of DNA is a double helix, where Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. This knowledge started the molecular biology revolution in 1953. Today many biologists do 'sequencing', i.e. read DNA sequences, routinely. For detail on this molecule see http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/ImgLib.pl?CODE=1bna.
Image Structure of a protein by Laurence Loewe, last updated: Jul 11, 2009 01:41 PM
The molecular structure of the protein that allows mammals to see by transforming the light in the eye into a noticeable signal. The various secondary structure elements (e.g. the red alpha helices) can be seen clearly. For more details see http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/ImgLib.pl?CODE=1f88.
