Kyushu University is pleased to host a public seminar organized in collaboration with Durham University under the framework of RENKEI (Japan-UK Research and Education Network for Knowledge Economy Initiative).
Join us to explore the fascinating battle between “mobile DNA” (transposons) and plants trying to defend themselves—a hidden arms race shaping evolution, revealed through the lens of RNA biology.

This seminar is perfect for you! Students interested in biology and anyone curious about science are welcome！
