New genomes, new taxa and deep questions in the eukaryotic tree of life: a meeting report on the embo comparative genomics conference

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Ruiz-Trillo EvoDevo et al. from the which is not surprising given that more than , fungal genomes have been sequenced to dateSuch comprehensive genome sampling enables studies at the level of population genomics, some of which are providing important insights into the subtelomeric regions. It is becoming widely accepted that subtelomeric genes show increased rates of duplication and undergo frequent ectopic recombination without the need for meiosis. Thus, these subtelomeric regions may play important roles in the origin of evolutionary innovation and, specifically, in the generation of genetic diversity. Good examples of this, presented by Kevin . . .
