Join us online this Thursday 1pm AEST. Hye Jin Park @hyejinpark.bsky.social (Inha University) will present: "Artificial selection for collective composition" Sign up to receive the zoom link forms.gle/53hkcdcKPGfa... NB. This seminar won't be recorded.
An image advertising the seminar as described in the main text but with the following abstract: Microbial communities can perform complex functions that individual microbes cannot achieve alone, but enhancing these collective functions through artificial selection is challenging. Here, we examine a simple microbial system to develop a theoretical framework for understanding the conditions necessary for successful artificial selection on collectives. By analyzing whether artificial selection can effectively drive the community toward a target composition, we predict its likelihood of success under different experimental setups and identify the key parameters that influence successful selection.
