DESCRIPTION:Wings\, Feathers\, flight: using comparative genomics to link g
 enotype and phenotype in birds\n\nConnecting genotype and phenotype is of 
 ongoing interest in evolutionary biology.\n	Comparative genomics is now all
 owing us to map genes for traits using\n	phylogenetic approaches (‘PhyloG2P
 ’)\, which leverage phenotypically unique\n	lineages or convergent evolutio
 n to provide surprisingly precise mapping of loci\n	underlying evolutionari
 ly labile traits. Two examples focusing on traits such as the\n	origin of f
 eathers or loss of flight reveal a strong role for non-coding regulatory\n
 	evolution in the origin of key adaptations of birds. I also introduce two 
 statistical\n	models for associating rates of genome change and change in b
 inary or\n	continuous traits using phylogenetic trees. Such models will imp
 rove our power to\n	detect associations between genome and phenotype evolut
 ion.\n\nHosted by the Abouheif and Sakata Labs\n
