| Lunch room at SciLifeLab floor 2 | Reconciling gene trees and species trees |
|
Over the last decade, the Bayesian approach has gained in popularity in phylogenetics. One reason for this is the possibilities it provides of creating more realistic and complex models of evolution. Of particular interest in recent years has been the interplay between a homologous gene family and the corresponding species tree. Although these are highly intertwined, key evolutionary mechanisms such as gene duplication, loss, and horizontal transfer will effectively create discordances that may be difficult to resolve. In this talk, I will discuss some of our current methods for simultaneously inferring and reconciling a gene tree with a species tree, and presents some related results from eubacteria, invertebrates, and vertebrates.

| Lunch room at SciLifeLab floor 2 | Web Services at SciLifeLab |
|
Web Services (WS) is an established mode of distributed computing,
which is used extensively in bioinformatics and related areas. I will
discuss the main architectural principles for WS that have emerged
during the last decade, with a focus on so-called RESTful Web
Services. I will give some examples of how this is relevant to the
current and future activities at SciLifeLab. In our setting,
integration of different datasets and computational approaches is a
very important challenge. How can we leverage Web Services to
integrate and publish our resources in the best way? I will highlight
the technological aspects as well as the policy implications for
SciLifeLab.
