How Life Changes Itself: The Read-Write Genome by James Shapiro, PhD

Living organisms make inscriptions on their genomic DNA to control biological functions at all time scales. In evolution, organisms use a variety of different processes to merge and modify their genomes as they generate new laxomonic groups. This lecture by James Shapiro, PhD, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Chicago, outlines some of the biological activities cells use for generating novel configurations of their read-write genomes.
