Lecture room at the third floor

Qi Zhou got his PhD from Kunming Institute of Zoology and is right now doing postdoctoral research in University of California, Berkeley. He studied the general pattern of new gene origination in Drosophila and sex chromosome evolution in endangered species black muntjac deer. He is using next-generation sequencing technology and genomics to investigate the neo-sex chromosome system of Drosophila miranda in UC Berkeley, by looking into gene sequence and expression change of the system. He has published research papers on Science, Genome Res, Genome Biol, Curr Biol etc., and has been invited for writing reviews for journals of J. Genet. Genomics and Annual Rev. Ecol Evol.
