Today’s podcast with Dr. Luke Dunning of University of Sheffield discusses his recent findings that indicate grasses are sharing genes with each other. It is an interesting discussion about horizontal gene transfer, from its mechanism, to its outcomes, to its effect on genetic variation and evolution.<br> <a href="https://twitter.com/LukeTDunning">Follow Dr. Dunning on Twitter</a><br> <a href="https://dunning-lab.group.shef.ac.uk/">Dunning Lab website</a><br>
